"What a type," he thinks and approaches her to ask her to pose for him. The girl in the bright colors of her race and carrying her personal belongings, is bewildered. Luigi Sforza, her sweetheart, who had met her, translates that the artist desires her to pose. Soon the picture is complete and Bright holds a reception at which the original of "The Immigrant" and the painting are shown. Bolano, an Italian banker, is delighted with her and arranges for her to get a part in a show. Naturallv a dancer, she soon becomes a great favorite in the musical production. She rejects Luigi's proposal of marriage scornfully. The little immigrant has grasped success in the new land even before she had mastered its language. Bolano invites her to dine in his apartment, and, innocently, she accepts. But Pietro has been there before. He is sworn by the Vendetta to kill Bolano. A time bomb is placed in the clock and set for midnight. Hardly an instant before it explodes the girl, finally scenting Bolano's purpose, escapes through a window. Bolano is a victim. With all thoughts of stage success and fame frightened out of her, the immigrant girl flees to the home of her Italian boy lover, now an attorney. "I am here, Luigi. We will be married." she says simply. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
