The Black Hand on ABC – The kidnap and sexual assault of 13-year-old Elizabeth Rosati by The Black Hand appals North Queensland.
Though the guilty face deportation, it’s another crime that further stigmatizes the Italian community.
As tensions rise in Europe, conflict breaks out between fascist and anti-fascist elements in the Queensland Italian community.
Anglo-Australia hardens its attitude to all Italians and steps up its efforts to stop D’Agostino and The Black Hand, with the Italian community itself continuing to resist the gang.
In Calabria, Anthony’s discovery that D’Agostino was born only an hour away from his father’s birthplace causes him to consider his own fate had his father never migrated from Italy.
