Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Fiorella, the daughter of the robber chief, is secretly in love with the noble lord of the manor, who, of course, does not know that her father is a brigand. She steals away from the bandits' camp to meet her lover. During her absence and after she has left him, he falls into the hands of the robbers. The girl liberates him. His escape is discovered. The bandits determine to capture him at his castle gates. Fiorella warns her lover, who, with his retainers, overpowers the brigands and brings them into the castle for trial. The lord of the manor is about to sentence them all to death when the girl reveals her identity and pleads for her father and his associates. Then upon her obtaining their pardon, she has to decide whether she will desert her own parent to be married to her lover or whether she will give up the noble lord altogether and return with her father. She finally decides on the latter course of action, and the scene closes as she bids her lover farewell and leaves with her father and his band of brigands.
