Synopsis
While traveling in Italy, Cyrus Kirkham, a dissolute American, kidnaps Leonita, but she kills herself rather than let him seduce her. Fifteen years later, Giovanni, Leonita's husband, arrives in the United States accompanied by his teen-age daughter Elisa. Giovanni holds a grudge against Americans that began with Leonita's death, so when Elisa falls in love with Paul Winston, an American artist, her father disapproves of the romance. When Cyrus sees Paul's portrait of Elisa, he decides to track her down and then brings her to a high society party. Giovanni finds out and breaks into the party intent on killing Cyrus. As soon as Cyrus sees him, however, and recognizes him as Leonita's husband, he drops dead from the shock. Then, convinced that his daughter's good name has been ruined, Giovanni kills himself, thus finally allowing Elisa and Paul to get married.
