Cassio
The 1914 Italian version of William Shakespeare's Othello.
El pintor Marcello deja a su pareja Giulia en casa para llevar a la bella vecina Lucy a un baile de máscaras. Por la tarde, Marcello ha vendido un cuadro y tiene algo de dinero en el bolsillo; ella se ha disfrazado de Pierrette y se ha encontrado con él en un café. Por la noche, mientras los dos están en el baile, la madre de Lucy se siente mal y pide ayuda...
Glaucus
Well-respected Pompeiian Glaucus performs an act of kindness by purchasing Nydia, a blind slave being mistreated by her owner. Nydia falls in love with her new master, but he only has eyes for Ione. Ione in turn is lusted after by Arbace, an Egyptian high priest of Isis. When Nydia beseeches Isis for help in capturing Glaucus' heart, Arbace gives her a "love" potion-- an elixir made to drive Glaucus mad, securing Ione for himself. Ultimately, Mount Vesuvius will end their lives and seal their fates in a terrible, glorious eruption.
A Italian variation of the Cinderella story.
