At the same time, she seduces Frederich and makes him take her and the convict Peppo Pastia, whom she passes off as her uncle Pedro Costa, into his home. After two failed attempts at murder, Frederich becomes aware of their plot, whereupon the two are chased out of the house, get lost in the wilderness and finally freeze to death.
