As described in a film magazine review,[2] in the Russian Empire, Prince Sergei and his wife Varvara are exiled to Siberia by the Tsar Nicholas II. Varvara dies giving birth to a daughter, Vera, who is left in a friend's care by the father. 18 years later, Cossacks raid the country. Walter Stanford, an officer in the American Expeditionary Force, Siberia, rescues Vera from a Cossack raid at a shrine, but she is forced to wed a Cossack chief. After the chief is killed, Vera and Stanford are united and they marry.
The film was shot in San Francisco and Los Angeles using real-life U.S. Army soldiers as extras.[3]
This is a surviving silent film preserved by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[4]
