En el siglo XV, Romola, hija de un sabio florentino ciego, se casa con Tito Melema, hombre de escasos escrúpulos. Utilizando todos los recursos turbios a su disposición, Tito alcanza el puesto de Jefe de la Magistratura, aprovechando cualquier oportunidad para el abuso de poder, lo que le hace muy impopular. Uno de sus actos más despreciables es su matrimonio fingido con la campesina Tessa.
Astrea plays an adventurous princess who roams the world in the service of justice, supported by her humorous sidekick Birillo (Ferdinand Guillaume). She takes up the cause of two young nobles, Michele and Jole, who have been dispossessed by the unscrupulous baron Max. With her bare fists, she eliminates six shifty circus people sent by Max. “Remarkable stunts, of which a professional strong-woman of Houdini- like prowess is the protagonist, are the outstanding feature of this unusual and entertaining thrill-film, whilst the amazing sensations are pleasantly relieved by a vein of irresistible comedy (“The Bioscope”, 1 April 1920).
