- A story that begins in Italy with Rosa and Pietro happy in anticipation of their coming marriage shifts to New York, whence Rosa and Giuseppe, an Americanized countryman, have flown. Pietro is in pursuit, but locating Rosa in New York isn't easy. They meet later, after Giuseppe has deserted Rosa. From the effects of ill-treatment she dies, and Pietro adopts her child. Years later the two men meet face-to-face, and when Pietro would have revenge, the little girl intervenes. But the fright of meeting the man whom he knows has been pursuing him for years is too much for Giuseppe and he falls dead. In the tableau, a vision of Rosa appears as a fitting climax.—Moving Picture World synopsis
- Rosa and Pietro were very happy in their little Italian village until well-dressed Italian Giuseppe Rocco came along and with pictures of America and many promises, decoyed her away. Pietro vowed vengeance and followed them. Walking New York for many days and failing in his quest, he took work in a barber shop and prospered. One night he saw a woman carrying a baby and fainting. He took her to his lodging and recognized Rosa. Pietro did all he could but she died, leaving the baby girl to his care. Five years later he was the owner of the barber shop, when a stranger entered and wanted his beard shaved off. Pietro recognized the man who had wrecked his life and was about to kill him when the little girl came in and stayed his hand. But the shock of discovery and the fear of vengeance had frightened Rocco and he died. The child and foster father fell upon their knees in prayer as the vision of Rosa appeared and smiled in appreciation.—The Central New Jersey Home News (New Brunswick, NJ), April 30, 1913
