Franz on kihloissa Swanildan kanssa, mutta rakastunut ihanaiseen Coppeliaan, tiedemies Coppeliuksen kauniiseen tyttäreen. Yhtenä iltana Coppeliuksen lähdettyä kotoaan Franz näkee tilaisuutensa tulleen ja murtautuu tiedemiehen kotiin. Swanilda taas puolestaan salaa tietääkin, että Coppelia on robotti ja päättää pilailla Franzin kustannuksella. E.T.A. Hoffmannin tarinoihin perustuva Coppelia on Léo Delibesin ilahduttavimpia koomisia oopperoita.

This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world.
