In reading a detailed newspaper account of the battle, Marie sees an appeal for Red Cross nurses. Leaving her luxurious home and arriving at Tripoli, she takes up the duties assigned to her. She is beloved by all who require her services, and as the Italian detachment is passing through one of the streets in Turkey, a bullet pierces her heart. When news of his sweetheart's death reaches the ears of Troyano (who was not aware of her doings), he almost succumbs to grief. He bathes her face with kisses and tears. The commanding general gives instructions to the army aviator to put the aeroplanes into play. Lieut. Troyano begs for and is granted permission to manipulate the aircraft. He drops bomb after bomb and soon has the city in ruins. Inspired with the desire to grapple hand in hand with those who took the life of his loved one, he descends nearer to earth. The Turks fire at him and he falls lifeless to the ground. He and his sweetheart are buried side by side with military honors. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
