La prima notte

• Watchlist

Olga, the daughter of an officer in the Russian Army, has secretly joined a Nihilist Society. Knowledge comes to the officer that his daughter is suspected of complicity in a plot, and he arranges that she shall go to Paris. Olga succeeds in reaching Paris without discovery by the authorities, but Peter Ismakoff, a secret service agent, is told off to watch her, and succeeds in making her acquaintance, and becomes her lover. Olga gives him the names of all her companions, and he sends them to his chief in Russia, and the news of their capture and terrible fate reaches Olga. The secret preys on Ismakoff's mind, and, when Olga has become his wife, he tells her what he has done. Olga shrinks from him in horror, and rushes to the garden, and there she gradually sinks back motionless.
