Seeking to obtain by force the love of a pretty widowed mother who has repulsed him, Antone, a fisherman, secretes the child she loves devotedly in the forest, securely confined in the meshes of one of his nets. The brute then returns to the distracted mother and demands she marry him on pain of losing her child. Meanwhile, the plucky lad patiently struggles with his bonds until he contrives to escape. Returning to his home he hears voices raised in anger and fear. Through the window he sees his mother struggling in the arms of Antone.
