Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] the young Grand Duchess Marie Louise (Gish) of Molvenia, weary of life among the aristocracy, eagerly welcomes the relief that comes with the acquaintance of American soldiers that camp near her castle. She singles out Sergeant Richard Ellis (Graves) for her attentions, and he is supremely happy in his love for her until her identity is revealed. Before he can readjust their friendship, his troops leave for home and he bids her goodbye. Then comes the Bolshevik revolution that dethrones her and makes her flee with trusted servant Stephen (Hatch) to America. Turning flapjacks in a restaurant window, she finds Richard again. However, Bolsheviks track her down, desiring the crown jewels she brought with her, but are bested by Richard and Stephen. With this victory comes word from abroad that her throne once again awaits her.
