The Rogue Song (1930)

In 1910 Russia, dashing (and singing) bandit leader Yegor meets Princess Vera at a mountain inn. They fall in love, but the relationship is shattered when Yegor kills Vera's brother Prince Serge for raping his sister Nadja and driving her to suicide. Yegor kidnaps Vera and forces her to live a life of lowly servitude among the bandits. Vera manages to outwit Yegor, who's captured by soldiers and flogged. Vera begs Yegor's forgiveness. Although still in love, they realize they cannot be together, at least at present.
