Young Sicilian girl Cabiria and her nurse, Croessa, survive a devastating volcanic eruption, only to be taken by Phoenicians to Carthage. As the second of the Punic Wars rages between Carthage and Rome, the pair is sold into slavery, and Cabiria is intended as an offering to the god Moloch and the child-eating statue Kronos. Croessa convinces Roman Fulvius Axilla to rescue Cabiria, yet afterward the girl remains in slavery for another decade.
