A terrible incident occurs which breaks up the happy family. One night during the performance the husband is mortally injured by the lions. To his deathbed the tamer calls his wife and she promises to always cherish his memory by not re-marrying and to dedicate her life to their little child. The widow decides to leave for America with her daughter. During the voyage on board the ship Firuli, who is playing with her doll, accidentally drops it and the Count Boris picks it up. Through this Aissa becomes acquainted with him and very soon they are the best of friends. It is with much regret they part at the end of the voyage for the count now loves her deeply. Shortly after her arrival she receives a visit from a manager offering her a good contract and while considering she is handed a note. It is from the count expressing his love for her and inviting her to a ball that evening. This influences her to refuse the offer made by the manager. Aissa, her mind now occupied with new end pleasant thoughts, pays little attention to Firuli. She leaves the child crying and attends the ball, where she receives flattering attention. Smilingly she listens to the proposal of the count, and when he leaves her in a little side reception room to wait for him while he bids farewell to his guests. Aissa, very much exhausted, falls asleep. What dreams she has; the lions having burst open their cage and wild with their freedom have rushed into the room where her little daughter is sleeping alone. They jump across the bed smothering her child, and then from his picture hanging on the wall her dead husband steps out returned to life and madly wrestles with the infuriated lions. With a yell Aissa awakens and freeing herself from the arms of the count, who has returned at her scream, she rushes home to find her beloved child quietly and happily sleeping in her bed. Taking her in her arms she fervently vows never again to leave her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
