A melodrama by Ethel Voynich, dramatised by William Ash.
With Dominick Rickhards as Arthur Burton, Jill Lidstone as Gemma and John Moffatt as Montanelli

Italy, the middle of the last century: a group of young idealists form an organisation called 'Young Italy' - committed to freeing the country from foreign domination. Arthur Burton is one such idealist; but when he is betrayed by one in whom he trusted, his idealism turns to cynicism and his love of life to hatred.
