Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Luci Sommerse (Crooked Love) casts its spotlight upon the talented and versatile Nelly Corradi. Officially, however, the story revolves around a gentleman thief known as the Lord Spider (Fosco Giacchetti). Upon meeting banker's daughter Adriana (Corradi), the thief instinctively lifts her pearl necklace, but falls in love with her and gives it back. For Adriana's sake, the Lord Spider vows to "go straight," but it's not all that easy -- especially when the light-fingered hero's mobster pals muscle into the story. Even at 72 minutes, Luci Sommerse drags badly in spots, but the gorgeous Signorina Corradi makes it all worthwhile.
