To save his parents from financial ruin, a young gardener’s son hides some money he has found. In so doing, however, he makes himself a murder suspect, for the money was stolen from a murdered scientist, together with a piece of artificial radium and some papers.
It all seems hopeless but a young gypsy girl, Zizzi, who was taken in by the parents of the young man during her hour of greatest need, believes in his innocence. She can find the true villain. The gardener’s son is eventually saved. As the ecstatic parents ask the young woman to stay, Zizzi declines. She is drawn back to the highways.
