Upon arrival at the port, she finds a man bearing the agreed-upon signs and spends her first night with him, unaware that she is giving her virginity not to Gidda but to Pietro, a rival of her real husband who wants revenge. Immacolata's encounter with Gidda is not a happy one: the young bride is welcomed into the house only out of pity, neglected, mistreated, and finally abandoned by her husband to reunite with his mistress, a woman of ill repute named Nazaria. The rival returns to interfere and, in a shootout, ends up mortally wounding Immacolata, who was trying to protect her husband. When it is too late, Gidda realizes his dramatic mistake.
