Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] Marsa (Frederick), daughter of a Russian nobleman whose wealth she inherits, meets and falls in love with Prince Zilah (Miltern) in Paris. Between them rises the shadow of a secret, the nature of which is revealed, with Count Menko (Cain) hurrying to Paris upon learning of Marsa's engagement to the Prince. The Count order her to meet him in the garden. She turns her dogs loose on him and he is badly injured and disappears for a time. The Count sends a packet of love letters to the Prince on the eve of the marriage. Marsa becomes ill and looses her mind. A friend of Prince runs down the Count and kills him in a duel. The Prince and Marsa are reconciled.
