Angered, he makes Lola sing and dance to his violin playing when she is so ill that she cam scarcely hold her head up. While dancing in a crowded street Lola sinks to the pavement exhausted and is rescued from Tomo by a minister who takes her to his home and puts her in charge of his deaconess. Lola is educated and taught the ways of refined society, but not without falling in love with her protector who fails to notice her fondness for him, as he is merely interested in helping her and is engaged to marry a society girl. Lola suffers the pangs of jealousy when she sees the minister with his fiancée. Sitting by her window in a passion of jealousy, she sees the minister walking in the garden with his future wife. Then she sees her gypsy lover, Tomo, sneak up behind him to kill him. Lola quickly makes her way into the garden and the deep love and gratitude she feels for her benefactor triumphs over her jealousy. As Tomo is about to plunge his dagger into the minister's back, she throws herself between them and receives the full force of the blow in her own frail body, thus sacrificing her life for her benefactor.
