Evil mastermind Thorkild Roose wants princess Ebba Thomsen to make a state marriage, but she tells him she loves Lieutenant Valdemar Psilander. Before Roos can do anything about it, the lovers are wed. Roos tries to have Psilander killed, but his friends smuggle him out of the capital. Roos tries to get Miss Thomsen to sign on to his preferred marriage, and has her taken captive to a castle under his command.
Roos has a gimply leg, and a lot of health issues. He's always clutching his heart or his side. In the midst of his rage at not being obeyed. Although this movie is a bit title-heavy, August Blom's movie flows along pretty well, and the events are clear. The acting is very good for 1912. Although the camera set-ups are static, the variety of settings and performances makes this an enjoyable early feature.
