Having come to quarrel with the landlady, Giorgio rented a room with a good woman who lives with her beautiful daughter Maria. Love soon arises between the two. When, thanks to a farsighted entrepreneur, things are going for the best, Mary's mother is summoned by the nuns: a woman has finally learned the truth about her daughter who was stolen from her 18 years earlier and entrusted to the nuns: now she claims his own daughter, that is, Mary. The girl moves to her birth mother and, attending parties and attending nobles, she becomes engaged to a young scion but never forgetting her Giorgio with whom she secretly meets.
