Under sin orlov i Japan køber marineløjtnant Pinkerton et hus med tjenestefolk af ægteskabsmægleren Goro. Med i handlen indgår også et ægteskab med den unge geisha, Cio-Cio-San, også kaldet Butterfly. Modsat Pinkerton, der tager let på ægteskabsløftet, giver Butterfly sig fuldt og helt hen til sin ægtemand. Under bryllupsfesten afbryder Butterflys onkel selskabet og forbander Butterfly for hendes æreløse opførsel.

Tre år senere venter Butterfly længselsfuldt og tålmodigt på Pinkerton, der rejste kort efter deres bryllup. Butterfly bor i huset med deres søn, som Pinkerton ikke kender til. Endelig vender han tilbage, men denne gang i selskab med sin nye amerikanske hustru, Kate. Parret ønsker at tage barnet med sig tilbage til USA. Pinkerton kan ikke selv holde ud at skulle stå ansigt til ansigt med den trofaste Butterfly og sender i stedet sin kone og konsulen Sharpless for at overbevise hende om at give afkald på sin søn. Butterfly indser nu, at hun har mistet alt – både sin mand, sin søn og sin ære. Til slut tager hun afsked med sin søn og tager livet af sig selv.

dansk

During his leave in Japan, Marine Lieutenant Pinkerton buys a house with servants from the matchmaker Goro. Also included in the deal is a marriage with the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, also called Butterfly. Unlike Pinkerton, who takes the promise of marriage lightly, Butterfly gives herself completely to her husband. During the wedding party, Butterfly's uncle interrupts the party and curses Butterfly for her dishonorable behavior.

Three years later, Butterfly waits longingly and patiently for Pinkerton, who left shortly after their wedding. Butterfly lives in the house with their son, whom Pinkerton doesn't know about. Finally he returns, but this time in the company of his new American wife, Kate. The couple wants to take the child back to the United States. Unable to face the faithful Butterfly himself, Pinkerton sends his wife and Consul Sharpless to convince her to give up her son. Butterfly now realizes that she has lost everything - her husband, her son and her honor. In the end, she says goodbye to her son and kills herself.
