After several years of married life, Eva barely tolerates her husband's caresses. Luigi, a poor mechanic, was the sweetheart of the Countess Eva. With the desire for a wife, it was only natural that he mated with a girl of his class, shortly after Eva's marriage to the Count D'Arti. Being sent by his employer to make some small repairs at the Count's home, Luigi comes at dawn of day, accompanied by Nella, his wife. Eva has just bid the guests at her reception adieu, when Luigi enters the drawing room and prepares to proceed with his work. Recognition is mutual between the two former lovers, but fearing her husband will overhear them, bids Luigi be silent. The Countess, by a subterfuge, gets Luigi into her apartment, where she plays upon his vanity, declaring he should not have married, but have waited for her as her husband was an old man and had not long to live. Nella, patiently waiting, is broken-hearted to see her husband emerge from the Count's grounds by a side gate and affectionately bidding a richly gowned and handsome woman adieu, recognizing her as Luigi's old sweetheart. Nella steals away unobserved, but meets Rossa, an Apache chief. Rossa endeavors to induce Nella to join his comrades. Nella cannot he influenced and feeling she may have been hasty and misjudged the importance of Luigi's conduct, she returns home and does not let her husband know of her suspicions. Luigi filled with pride in the belief that he is beloved by the Countess, neglects Nella and finally, even neglects to hide the fact that he pays clandestine visits to his former sweetheart. The Countess, while tolerating Luigi's secret visits, resents his presumption when he openly appears at her home while she has visitors and orders him away never to annoy her again. Luigi returns home, where a great surprise awaits him. Nella has left home and a note to her husband informs him she has gone forever. After weary searching, he finally learns that his wife has been seen with Rossa and finally locates her in the Apache chief's haunt. He admits all his faults, pleads forgiveness, but all in vain. Nella has taken the Apache vow, binding her for all time to the clan. Luigi attempts to drown his remorse in drugs and drink and becomes sullen and revengeful. Meeting the Countess and her husband returning from the opera one night, he follows their carriage and observes the Count leave Eva and enter his club. His resentment inflamed, he plies himself with more drink and drugs to make himself forget, but instead a diabolical plan of revenge enters his mind. He 'phones the Count at his club and informs him that his wife has a lover and that he can verify the fact by going home at once. Luigi forces an entrance into the apartment of the Countess, denounces her and tells her what he has done. Eva pleads with him to go, offers him her jewels, but even if Luigi wished to heed her plea, it is beyond his power to do so, for in his half-drunken frenzy he had taken too liberal a portion of the drug and paid the penalty of his disloyalty by death. Eva also paid a price, for the Count had been an interested unobserved witness of the scene between Luigi and his wife. Furious with rage he orders her to hasten her departure from his home and presence forever. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
