What happens

The Bride of Death (Italian: Sposa nella morte!) is a 1915 Italian silent drama film directed by Emilio Ghione and starring Lina Cavalieri. It was shot on location in Paris and Rome, with Cavalieri's contract giving her a percentage of the profits. It was released in the United States the following year, under the alternative title of The Shadow of Her Past, but was not well received. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
