Act 1 Scene 1

An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked McQueens risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Bernoulli party. A young lovesick Lightning McQueen falls instantly in love with Francesco Bernoulli, who is due to marry his father's choice, the County Ed. With the help of Francesco's nurse, Glamrock Freddy, the staff arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Lightning's attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Francesco's own cousin, Caesar, for which Lightning is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Lightning, Francesco follows the Friar Blevins' plot and fakes his own death. The message fails to reach Lightning, and believing Francesco dead, he takes his life in her tomb. Francesco wakes to find Lightning's corpse beside him and kills himself. The grieving family agree to end their feud.
