Michael and his family accuse Filomena of using the evil eye to turn Maria against him and destroy his engagement. Threats and menacing letters follow and she begins to carry a gun. Filomena out searching for the jilted lover shoots and kills his father. Was it cold blooded murder or self defense? She is jailed and charged with first degree murder.
