The Song of the Flame

Before the downfall of the Czar, Anuita sings to incite the people to revolt, eluding Prince Voloyda. Her fellow conspirator, Konstantin, watches her covetously, though he is pledged to Natasha. They overthrow the Czar, but Anuita, disgusted with Konstantin's brutality, goes to her village where she meets the prince and they fall in love. Konstantin arrests the prince, but Anuita buys his liberty. She is imprisoned, and the prince is captured; but Konstantin is killed and they escape. (AFI)
