Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? It is a spring night in the picturesque old town of Grenada, and a handsome lad is seen serenading his ladylove, under whose window he stands singing to the accompaniment of his guitar. The beautiful senorita knowing the musician to be none other than the youth to whom she has long since given her heart steps out on the veranda and joins him. Her father, however, calls her in to help him with his work. The thought of the love that her childhood friend bears toward her has been the one bright spot in the motherless girl’s uneventful life, and consequently bitter indeed is her awakening a few days later when she finds that the one she thought so true has been unfaithful and now prefers another in her place. Avoided and spurned by him she implores her father to avenge her. He takes his gun and. finding the gay youth making love to his new conquest, himself becomes enraged and follows the fickle boy through the beautiful country until at last coming up to him he is enabled to avenge his daughter.
