Se trata de la Condesa Adriana de Astolfi que está siendo forzada a casarse con el villano. Para deshacerse del gitano, Rodolfo lo acusa de un crimen que no ha cometido y hace que lo deporten a la Isla de los Condenados, una infecta isla-prisión. Allá lo sigue Adriana, que bajo la personalidad de "Luna" podrá amarlo libremente. Pero nuevamente, Rodolfo se interpone y los separa. Adriana, ahora amnésica, se convertirá en la esposa de Rodolfo. Tendrá que regresar Renzo, bajo otra identidad, para rescatarla de Rodolfo y de la ex tabernera Isa Valenti quien, a base de chantajes, se ha convertido en la cuñada de Adriana.
