- The princess is presiding at a reception being given in the old castle during the absence of her venerable father. The prime minister announces that the old soldier has again overcome his warring neighbors. The princess does not appear to be over elated, because she recalls that a young captain, whom she had once met in times of peace, might be among the dead or the wounded. Sure enough he is brought to a hospital, a wounded prisoner, and Elena volunteers to act as his nurse despite the protests of the prime minister. As he regains some of his normal strength he chafes under the restraint imposed upon him, and in her efforts to ease his lot, the princess issues orders that he may have use of the castle grounds. In his walks he frequently comes in contact with the princess, and while their intimacy ripens, the prime minister arrows more jealous. At length he clearly indicates his aversion to her companionship with an avowed enemy of her country, and in the name of the king seeks to restrict the captain from exercising in the grounds of the castle. The princess dismisses him and continues to secure an occasional tete-a-tete with the captain. He persistently pleads to her to help him escape from the confinement that is so galling to him and at length she accedes. She forwards to his apartments a rope ladder and a revolver hidden beneath a consignment of books. In the silence of the night he lowers his rope and makes his perilous descent to the foot of the walls. A sentry spies him, fires a warning shot, and engages the captain in a stern struggle. The captain manages, however, to break away; but soon he has a troop of cavalry on his track. He swims a river and rushes pell-mell through woodland country, but his mounted pursuers gradually gain upon him and, still weak from his wounds, he falls panting to the ground as they reach him. A court-martial quickly follows his recapture, and the dread verdict is summarily issued. Princess Elena sends for the prime minister, who has already signed the death warrant, and pleads to him to revoke it. He says he is ready to do so, but imposes, as a condition, that she should become his (the prime minister's) wife. She returns abruptly to her apartments and determines on a course which seems to her to offer the only possible way out for her and the man she loves. Under the cover of the night and closely veiled she steals to the prison and then gains admission to the cell in which the condemned man is crouched in an attitude of hopelessness. At first he thinks she is but a vision of his disordered mind, but when he folds her in his arms he understands the depth of love which has prompted her to come to him. She tells him that the chances of escape are too forlorn to attempt, and knowing that she cannot save him, she has decreed there is only one thing to do, to die together. She takes a paper knife, from her dress and hands it to him, but he recoils, and in an outburst declares that he will not die, but must go back to his country. His country comes first, and recognizing the inevitable, and the futility of their love, the princess rushes from the cell and secures a uniform of a prison warder. The captain kisses her and makes his escape. Later she is found on the floor of the cell, a victim of her own stiletto.

The adjutant, who is an ardent amateur photographer, observes that the prince is struck by the girl's beauty and secures a snapshot of her. It is a case of love at first sight with the Prince and his fair charmer, and the latter, refusing to be momentarily recompensed for the services she has rendered to His Royal Highness, allows him to present her with a ring. In return, he takes a lock of her hair. The pair part, but the gay cavalier has become a lovesick swain. His thoughts are ever of Agnes, and a game of chess with the adjutant proves tedious. Showing the lock of hair to the adjutant, the latter understands what is troubling his royal master, and consoles him somewhat by presenting him with a present of the snapshot he secured of the girl. To further the plans of the lovers, the adjutant secures a tenancy of the house adjoining that of Agnes, and the love-making proceeds apace. Soon we see the happy pair in fond embrace and the compact is sealed with a kiss. But the prince's august parent has other plans for his son's matrimonial prospects. For political reasons, it is necessary that he shall be betrothed to the Princess of Illyria, and at a council meeting the engagement is decided upon. Prince Walter, whilst enjoying a tete-a-tete with Agnes, is apprised by the adjutant of what has occurred, a copy of a newspaper containing the official announcement being handed to him. In a rage he tramples the paper under foot and goes off with his informer. Agnes chances to discover the journal, and reads the news which for her is fraught with such importance. The prince decides to return home, and writes a letter acquainting Agnes with the fact that circumstances over which he has had no control forces him to break his engagement with her. Arrived at the royal palace, the prince bows to the will of his father and the council. Both His Royal Highness and Agnes are, however, disconsolate. The former has no thoughts except for her to whom his heart is given, whilst the latter declines to be tempted even with the daintiest luxuries. She sends back the emblem of her troth, and the prince writes a letter imploring her to see him once more and let him spend a last happy hour in her company. The adjutant, seeing how matters are, takes affairs into his own hands, and visiting Agnes, prevails upon her to gratify the prince's desire, conveying her to the palace in his own motor car. A touching scene between the lovers in the royal garden ensues, and before parting the prince gives Agnes a white rose as the emblem of his undying love for her. Tender farewells are said, and Agnes returns to her humble abode. Life's dream for her is o'er, but the prince, bowing to destiny, returns to the palace and is wedded to the lady of his father's choice, bestowing upon her his name, but not his love, for that is the sole property of the girl of humble mien, and the picture closes with the newly wedded pair bowing their acknowledgments upon the balcony to the assembled populace below, who little realize that he who will someday rule over them has sacrificed his happiness in the fulfillment of his duty to his king and country.

Turning to Edith and her fiance, he informs them that he has made the will in their favor, and that all his property will pass to them at his death. The count then goes to his room, and locking the door, enters a wardrobe which conceals a secret door leading to his friend Pendleton's apartments next door. He descends into the basement of his house, and thence to the cellar beneath Pendleton's room, and by means of a staircase and trapdoor in the floor of his friend's drawing room, gains access to his presence.

In the belief that she is dead, her body is removed to the family vault, from which she is later removed by Pendleton and his nefarious accomplice and taken to Pendleton's house. Here Pendleton once more makes advances to her and a thrilling struggle takes place, in which Edith gets the better of matters. Left alone, Edith tries to escape, but finds that both the doors and windows are locked.

Newton discovers the message on the window pane and with the police sets out for the railway station, arriving just in time to see it leave the station. Newton hops in an automobile and rides to a bridge where the train passes under. When the train comes along, he jumps from the bridge onto the roof of the coach car where he dives inside the car that holds Edith. A struggle ensues between Newton and the doctor on the rear of the platform, and Newton hurls the doctor onto the track. Returning to the carriage, he arrests Pendleton and Edith is returned to her husband and Newton is the hero of the day.
