Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[4] a young woman who as a girl was betrothed to an Austrian baron decides on the eve of the wedding that she cannot marry the titled man because she is in love with a young American. The baron tricks the other man into a duel and forces the woman into marriage to save the younger man from a long term in jail. After a long period of struggle to retain his wife, the baron at length releases her and wishes her happiness with the American.
