Plot



As described in a film magazine review, Bianca Schreber is a poor girl whose father was wounded while in the Austrian Army during World War I. She is obliged to steal to keep from starving. With many poor people in want in her town, she is brought to the decision to become an outlaw for the purpose of feeding the hungry. Police pursue her until she takes refuge in the home of a noble with whom she is in love. Gregory, who has faked a title and grafted to obtain his government position, discovers Bianca in his home but she escapes. When Gregory holds a masquerade ball, she hides behind a mask and wins his ardor. Infatuated with her, he takes her to his chamber and attacks her. The guests break down the door to find them struggling. Gregory leaps to his death from a window. The noble replaces Gregory in his position and obtains a pardon for the young woman, whom he marries.
