In a small village in Sicily, the girl Assunta is seduced by Vincenzo. The man, however, runs away the day after they become lovers. Assunta, feeling disgraced, leaves for England where Vincenzo has fled. Assunta finds herself intimidated by the different culture, but resolutely travels to London in search of Vincenzo in order to kill him.
