Synopsis

In New York's Little Italy, Carlotta's life is run by Black Hand leaders who will not let her see her sweetheart Tom. The Black Handers also control the life of prominent Judge Andrews, because years before, after the death of Andrews' daughter, they kidnapped his granddaughter. Only now have they agreed to return her, at a charity ball, for a large ransom. Carlotta momentarily gets away from the Black Hand and goes to the ball alone, where Judge and Mrs. Andrews, startled at her resemblance to their daughter, realize that she is their grandchild. The Black Hand catches up to Carlotta, however, and abducts her again, but Andrews and Tom pursue them, kill the leaders, and take Carlotta back to her rightful home, where she and Tom plan their marriage.
