English title: Whirlpool of Fate
*mild spoilers ahead*
A young woman lives on a barge with her father and her uncle. Her father dies. Her uncle spends her inheritance and tries to force himself upon her. She flees and lives with some gypsies for a little while. They are forced to move and leave her behind. She becomes homeless until a rich young man takes pity on her and employs her as a maid. Her uncle comes back to torment her.
The misfortunes of the weaker sex were a very frequent theme of early cinematic productions. This one is not badly made, despite its rather clichéd script.
