A brief summary of the plot that highlights any unique variations
There once was a man who was incredibly rich, far richer than any other. He had a downfall in his appearance, however. A blue beard that no women liked to look at. He had a goal to marry one of two daughters, and since they both did not want to marry him, he devised a plan. He then marries the daughter Fatima. Bluebeard leaves and warns Fatima not to enter a room, for a punishment awaits her if she does. She enters the door and finds the dead bodies of all of Bluebeard’s past wives. Bluebeard finds out that she had entered this room and states that he will kill her, and she will join his past wives. Before he has a chance to kill her, Fatima’s two brothers enter and kill Bluebeard. Fatima remarries and gives Bluebeards riches to others and she lives happily ever after.
