Plot
Collected at the age of two, in extreme conditions, by a company of gypsies, Jolly grew up among them, together with the man who accompanied her and who subsequently educated her in the military arts, making her, in appearance and in bearing, very similar to a young man. One day, near Maracaibo, the two intervene to help the escort of Consuelo, daughter of the Count of Medina, attacked by a group of brigands. Gravely wounded, on the verge of death, the guardian tells Jolly about her origins. Her real name is Jolanda, daughter of the Count of Ventimiglia, the legendary Black Corsair, treacherously murdered by Van Guld, Count of Medina, who then entrusted the child to him to kill her. He also tells her about the existence of a family treasure.
