Because Florestan wanted to expose Don Pizarro's brutal and lawless despotism, the latter had imprisoned him out of revenge in a state prison run by him, where Florestan is forced to vegetate under inhumane conditions.

In order to free him, his wife Leonore, disguised as a man under the name Fidelio, hires herself out as a jailer. And Leonore actually manages to prevent the planned murder of her husband by Pizarro at the last moment. And so the just minister, who arrives at the prison for inspection purposes, is able to set his friend Florestan and all the other political prisoners free again.
