La Carmélite (1910) Online
Jose, a smuggler, and his pretty sweetheart, Juanita, arc seen parting from each other, and the former sets out on a smuggling expedition in which he is assisted by the girl's father. All goes well until, attempting to land with their cargo, the smugglers are surprised by the customs officers and a fierce struggle ensues, after which the whole party is captured, Juanita's father alone escaping, and he brings the news of Jose's capture to the girl. She is horror stricken, for she realizes the severity with which smuggling is punished and she enters a Carmelite convent, after parting with her parents. Shortly afterwards Jose arrives, having escaped from the officials, and learns from her parents that Juanita has taken the veil. He at once goes to the convent and waits until she passes. Realizing the hopelessness of ever seeing his dear one, the smuggler turns away and seeks death as the only resource left him.
