This story tells us how Leocadia, daughter of a noble but poor family, is taken away from her family by Rodolfo, a young libertine nobleman. He rapes her and abandons her on the streets. She returns to her family and tells her parents of her dishonor. While Rodolfo spends the next few years in Italy, Leocadia secretly has a baby and raises him as a cousin. Leocadia reveals the secret to Rodolfo's mother and the two women plot a solution. Eventually, Rodolfo accepts Leocadia as his wife.
