Her fiancé, in an attempt to show up the poverty of Enrico, invites the down-and-out neighbor to a function. Enrico pledges his last bit of jewelry and goes to the affair in style. Lady Linda is much attracted by Enrico; in fact, she pays to him so much attention that Claudio challenges the fortunate guest. There is a duel on the spot, but it comes to a sudden termination through unfair tactics on the part of Claudio's friends. Lady Linda is married in accordance with previous plans. Enrico from his ground sorrowfully watches the ceremony. Ten years later the Duchess of Rimini is a widow. She has a son, Pietro. The two arc close to each other. Pietro has many pets, but tires of these when he discovers the fawn on the estate of Enrico. Each day the little fellow steals away and goes to his new friend. When he is unable to open the great gate he gets down in the dust in his fine clothes and crawls under. Enrico is happy. He pays much attention to the little fellow from the adjoining estate. There is real affection between the man and the child. Pietro is stricken with fever and confined to his bed. Enrico beyond the wall watches in vain for the sight of the little yellow head. Pietro begs his mother to bring to him the fawn. The Lady Linda hesitates. Mother love conquers, and she sends to Enrico a note that she will pay him a visit that day. Enrico is in distress. There is nothing in the larder. He is determined that there shall be a spread; and the only beast on his place that will furnish it is the fawn so loved by Pietro. The fawn is slaughtered. The table is set with the best the baron has. The Lady Linda attended by her women appears at the home of Enrico. She tells him that Pietro is ill and asks for his friend the fawn. Enrico plainly shows his dismay. It is a situation to stir the heart. The baron confesses that the little animal has been sacrificed in order that due honor might be done the unusual guest. The baron is asked to go to Pietro. There is a pathetic scene at the side of the bed of the dying child. Enrico later calls on the Lady Linda. The two old friends meet on the grounds in front of the castle. Enrico kneels. In the background are grouped all the friends of the mistress of the house. It is an animated scene, an interesting one. The final picture is of the marriage of Enrico and the Lady Linda. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
