- The Duke, in an effort to 'save' his daughter from marriage to a poor lad of noble birth, hatches a plot which nearly costs the life of that very daughter.
- The Duke, knowing that his daughter Flamette is in love with Raoul, a young man of noble birth who is nonetheless impoverished, hatches a plan. The Duke will falsely accuse the lad of a treasonous plot; and Raoul will then be slain by the Duke's soldiers. Flamette, learning of her father's plan, sets out to save her lover. She drugs Raoul and disguising herself as a young man, she takes his place. Recovering from the drug, Raoul realizing the situation, sends a message to the Duke telling him to call off the soldiers and then rushes off to save his beloved. Flamette is barely saved from death. When the Duke realizes the strength of the young people's love he grants Raoul and Flamette his blessing.—Geezer Noir
- Fiametta, the daughter of the Duke de Boisette, is sought by Raoul, a young nobleman. Raoul, being the scion of a noble but impoverished house, his suit met with disfavor by the Duke, who has other plans. The young people, however, deeply love each other, and cunning are the many stratagems they devise to meet clandestinely. On one occasion, he meets a couple of peddlers, and bargains with them to attire himself as one of them and go to the palace in that guise. His disguise is penetrated by the Duke, who has him ejected. These subtle moves induce the Duke to scheme to get rid of Raoul. But he, being of noble birth, the Duke dare not do so blatantly, hence, he summons several of his loyal guards, and concocts a most unique plan. They are to arrange a false conspiracy against the Duke, and have one of the men reveal it accidentally to Raoul. Raoul will, of course, report it, anxious to gain the Duke's favor, and he will send Raoul to secure names and facts. They will discover in him a traitor at the meeting and dispose of him summarily. The scheme works. A soldier at the inn, pretending drunkenness, drops a letter calling for action to crush the Duke. Raoul finds it and hastens to the Duke with the intelligence, who sends him to the place designated in the letter. Fiametta has overheard enough to alarm her, so she determines to warn him of his danger. Realizing that she must not be recognized at the inn, she bargains with her page for a suit of his clothes. Disguised as a boy, she enters the tap-room and tries to persuade Raoul from his mission. He is adamant, for to shirk his duly would brand him a coward. Unable to shake his determination, she drops a sleeping potion in his drink, and taking his mask and cloak, goes to put herself in his place. She is, of course, mistaken for Raoul, and would have been dispatched, had he not been revived by the landlord, and assuming the truth of the situation, rushes to her rescue, at the same time sending word to the Duke. When the Duke appreciates the extent of her love for Raoul, he hands her over to him with his paternal blessing.—Moving Picture World synopsis
