- A young newspaperman bears a striking resemblance to the prince of a small European country. He falls for the daughter of the country's king, who is engaged to the prince.

- Stuart Warren, a cub reporter on a daily paper, reads that Marjorie Norwood, Vassar graduate, is to be betrothed to Prince Eric of Maurania. He ascertains that Maurania is a small European principality, and hopes to secure a good story. Owing to a striking resemblance, Marjorie mistakes Warren for her fiancé, but asks him why he is masquerading without his mustache. When he requests an interview, Marjorie denounces him as an impostor, and he is ejected from the house. Several foreigners seize him and take him in an auto to the outskirts of the city. There he is ushered into the presence of an assemblage. Their leader addresses Warren as "Your Highness," and tells him that they regret being compelled to take forcible measures. They request Warren to sign a letter which reads: "My queen, I am ill. It is important that you come to me. Accompany the barber." Warren refuses, and makes his escape. The conspirators engage a lady of vampire proclivities to embroil the Prince. Warren finally succeeds in interviewing Marjorie, who tells him the king of Maurania is surrounded by conspirators, who await his death to declare a republic. The aged monarch only trusts Prince Eric, and has dispatched him to America to marry her. They have been persecuted ever since. However, Marjorie does not reveal that she is the King's daughter. At the conspirators' headquarters the Prince becomes intoxicated and is induced to sign the decoy letter. Marjorie receives the letter and goes at once to join him. The conspirators fail to force her to abdicate her rights to the throne. Warren, fearing for her safety, rushes in an automobile to her assistance. The conspirators prevail on the Prince to feign death and carry his supposed corpse to Marjorie, and tell her further opposition on her part will lead to a similar fate. Marjorie is about to sign her abdication when Warren breaks into the room and holds up the conspirators. He is compelled to shoot a guard in self-defense. The chauffeur hears the shot and summons the police, who subdue the conspirators. Marjorie and Warren make their escape in the automobile. Later Warren on board a steamer bids farewell to Marjorie.—Moving Picture World synopsis
