Krásná Ariadna, dcera mocného krétského krále Mínóa, vyrůstá se svými sourozenci v paláci, v jehož podzemí je uvězněný Mínótauros, napůl býk, napůl člověk. Jednou z jeho dalších obětí se má stát mladý athénský princ Théseus, ale Ariadna se do něj zamiluje a pomůže mu. Její nit ho bezpečně vyvede ze zrádného labyrintu.
