Twenty years ...See moreThe Duke of Lorenzo discovers the Duchess of Lorenzo with her lover, the Count Riccardo. A duel follows and the Duke is banished for a term of years for dueling; he leaves the Duchess and her child at the ancestral villa. Twenty years elapse. The Duchess has gone to America, where her daughter dies. She returns to Italy with a young companion, Anna De Voe, who is taken for the Duchess' daughter by the servants and villagers. Harold Dean, an American artist, has obtained permission to sketch upon the beautiful grounds of the villa. As the Duchess enters the villa, she has a mental shock which renders her mind a blank. Harold assists in resuscitating her, and he and Anna are attracted towards each other. Anna fails to reveal the fact of her identity. Soon afterwards the Duke returns from his exile, and is informed by his servants that Anna is his daughter. She does not deny the assertion. Harold asks the Duke for his supposed daughter, and is informed that she must marry in honor to her ancestors. Anna, who is in love with Harold, then disclaims the relationship, and Harold is happy to find that no line of ancestry separates them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
