Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Injured in a small European kingdom during a revolution, American soldier-of-fortune Bob Howard (Richard Dix) lies in a hospital bed, his face swathed with bandages. Assuming that Bob is her country's long-lost prince, Princess Eleana (Alyce Mills) nurses him back to health. So long as Bob's identity remains a mystery, the peasants are willing to cease their revolt, but when the truth is revealed they proceed as planned and topple the royal family from power. Rather than be upset by this turn of events, Eleana is delighted; now that she's a "commoner," she can marry the handsome, unwrapped Bob without worrying about protocol. Former Keystone comic Chester Conklin shows up as Howard's sidekick, who turns out to be the real prince.
