...Girl? The plot's pretty problem: Zdenka, younger sister in a penniless noble family, has been raised as a boy for economy's sake (a boy's upbringing is so much cheaper). But Zdenka has lost her unboyish heart to Sister Arabella's best beau, Matteo. Fortunately, Arabella falls for a handsome stranger and Zdenka lures Matteo to her room, leading him to believe he is getting Arabella.

"Friends, there are no more traitors here," announced the worldbeater. "We free men are choosing the way of justice." It was the biggest mass defection from Italy's Communist Party (the best-entrenched in Western Europe) since...
