Plot

As described in a film magazine,^[3] during the World War, the queen of Spenozia turns her chateau into a hospital. Princess Elena, who is nursing there, falls in love with Bob Howard, one of the patients whose face she cannot see because of his bandages. When the Armistice comes, Bob returns to America, but after a year or two starts back to Europe to find the nurse. He is mistaken for the crown prince, and, not speaking Spenozian, does not understand what has happened. The people discover Bob is an imposter and a revolution occurs despite the man’s attempts to admit he is not the prince. He saves the Princess Elena, and she, realizing he is the soldier she loved in the hospital, flees with him back to America.
