Les pensionnaires du collège féminin du Valfleuri sont éprises du professeur Marini, enseignant en chimie. Parmi elles, un groupe de jeunes filles, menées par Anna, la plus indisplinée de toutes, se dressent contre les surveillantes, mais aussi, et surtout, contre Maria, élève studieuse et appliquée, qui obtient les faveurs du professeur. Une nuit, elles s'aperçoivent que Maria n'est pas dans son lit. Elles la retrouvent dans le jardin en train d'embrasser un homme. Elles s'imaginent que celui-ci est le professeur Marini. Anna et ses compagnes la dénoncent aussitôt à la directrice du collège. Mise en quarantaine, Maria s'enfuit pendant un orage et se blesse gravement au cours de sa fugue. On découvre, à ce moment-là, la réalité des faits : le rendez-vous clandestin était une rencontre entre Maria et son père, accusé de malversation et menacé d'être emprisonné. Anna, qui, par jalousie, avait injustement accusé Maria, rachète sa faute en lui offrant son sang, la sauvant ainsi d'une mort certaine.
