Beppo, not being aware that Pietro is a spy, allows him to overhear his conversation with di Rossali and obtains admission to a socialistic meeting. Pietro gives information to the police, with the result that a warrant is issued against the young nobleman, who is obliged to take flight from the country. He visits Beppo before leaving, and is again seen by Pietro. Nina refuses to listen to the suit of Pietro, who swears he will he revenged upon her. He informs the Police that Guilio had called upon Beppo, who is commanded to reveal his hiding-place. Beppo refuses to do so and as a result is condemned to penal servitude as an accomplice. As he is being taken into the prison, Nina denounces Pietro as an informer to the crowd at the gates, who at once vent their fury upon him. Pietro is dragged to the river and drowned like the rat he is. For three years Nina lives in poverty and hardship, making a scanty living by the manufacture of artificial flowers. At last she hears that, through a political change, the Count di Rossali is restored to favor and that he is returning from banishment to take .charge of his estates. She at once goes in search of him and tells him the pitiful story of her father's incarceration. The Count immediately uses his influence to get Beppo out of prison and restores him to his daughter. He commends Beppo as a faithful servant, and gives him an important post in his household so that neither he nor his daughter need know want again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
