- Colomba, daughter of a Corsican landowner, finds her father dead at his table, with a paper before him on which, apparently, he has scrawled the name of his murderer. It is the name of Agostini, a millwright, over whose leasehold there has been a bitter quarrel between her father and a rival landowner. The latter's two sons have committed the crime and sought to fasten suspicion upon Agostini, but Colomba is not deceived. Her brother, Orso, is not so sure as she, however, and refuses to execute summary vengeance. The girl summons her lover, a bandit chief, and declares that her father's murderers have attacked her. Orso then sends his enemies word to beware of his vengeance. They attempt to waylay him in the mountains, and are killed by the bandit chief. Soldiers seek Orso in the mountains to arrest him, but he is warned by Colomba and his sweetheart. Lydia, daughter of General Nevil. He decides to surrender, however, and accompanied by the bandit chief, returns home. There the aged father of the murderers, worn out with grief and futility of vendetta, tells the truth and saves Orso from arrest. Colomba triumphs alike in love and hatred of her enemies.—Moving Picture World synopsis
