action
A young milliner (hat maker) has fallen in love with the handsome naval officer Vitale Malipiero. To get rid of her groom Georg Alvid, she stabs him. Then she locks Vitale in the room with the dead man without him discovering him immediately. Only later does Vitale find Georg's body hidden under a divan with a sunflower in his hand. Horrified, Vitale escapes this terrible apartment through the window and immediately returns to his ship anchored in the harbor.
A little later the murderess looks for a new husband, whom she finds in Count Jekaterinsky. Both marry, but the young wife cannot stop killing and kills this man too. This time she chooses the poison cup. Lying dying, the latter takes the blame for their crime. The early widowed Countess Jekaterinsky is magically drawn back to her love Vitale, who this time rejects her with disgust. Deeply hit by this rejection, the former milliner seeks death in the sea.
