She is in love with a young American, Conners, a reporter, but her old father doesn't like foreigners, and forbids her to have anything to do with him. Conners has met Bella while taking a pair of his shoes to be repaired. Luigi, a flashy Italian, has met her in the same way and is attracted by her, but she spurns him. He gets fresh and Conners whips him. Luigi plans to abduct her and when Bella delivers shoes to his place she is captured and held prisoner. He tells her he will keep her there until she agrees to marry him. Fearful of being caught, he writes a note to a pal, telling him to meet him and they will take the girl to a certain spot in the suburbs and keep her there. In writing the note, he spills ink on it, and crumpling it up, throws it into the wastebasket. However, the crumpled-up note hits the edge of the basket, bounces off and lands in an old shoe lying on the floor beside the table. The girl is taken away and the landlady, having been told previously to send the shoes to the cobbler, finds them and takes them to Gapado. The latter finds the note, shows it to Conners, who is inquiring for Bella, and the latter goes to the rescue of Bella. That finished he finds Gapado more willing to accede to his suit for Bella's hand. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
