Is he not the grand boss, at the big job where Padra worked? Each day she would see him when, with Padra's dinner, she went to the big job and found Dick waiting for her. Already Dick had said when the flowers came they would journey to the little church and have the grand blessing. Then into the life of Carlotta came Regi, a powerful, bad Padrone, who looked at her with leering, evil eyes. He would have her; no one else should stand in his way. Regi, realizing that Dick and Carlotta love each other, takes much joy in telling them that she would see Dick no longer. After Regi leaves Carlotta she writes a note to Dick which she throws to him from the window. The next day when all is in readiness for the wedding, Dick climbs the fire escape to rescue Carlotta. In a hall he meets Regi. In a fight Regi and his followers wound Dick. Still intent on rescuing Carlotta he ascends the fire escape, but lack of strength leaves him and she hides him in a closet in her room. When Regi and his party find Carlotta there she tells them Dick has gone downstairs. They follow, taking her with them. They leave her with three drunken men while they continue their search. Realizing that her lover will die if left alone in the closet, Carlotta sets about to escape by getting her three guards fighting among themselves. She succeeds in locking them in the room and starts to rescue Dick. With her bleeding lover unconscious she struggles to get him out to the police for protection. On her way she meets Regi and his cutthroats, but with a knife stolen from one of her jailers she holds them at bay. She forces Regi and his band out of the house and into the hands of the police. After the recovery of Dick, during Regi's imprisonment, Carlotta and Dick are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
