Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] newly wed Felipa is attacked by her husband Tony's friend Pietro. Tony intervenes and Pietro is killed. As a result, Tony is hanged for the killing and his pregnant wife is sentenced to imprisonment. A baby is born in prison, taken from its mother at the age of three, and adopted by the judge from the murder case, who is now the governor. After serving her twenty year sentence, Filipa is released. For the sake of her child Antoinette, she resigns all legal claims to her in favor of the guardians who raised the child.
