George George, disguised as a Russian Prince, has felt the lure of romance. Jerry, with the aid of Claire, manages to stick close to his beloved's side. He disguises himself as a Russian and gets the post of chauffeur to the Prince. Each realizes the other is a fraud, but each can say nothing. Jerry, after many adventures, discloses himself in his true identity to the Prince and the daughter's father. Thereupon the prince plots to send Jerry to the bandits. Greatest idea in all the world, thinks the father, but arrived at the haunts of the bandits, the father finds that he, too, is to suffer. The Prince holds the elderly man for ransom. There follow trick upon trick, but in the end virtue and innocence win out with Jerry winning everything, including the blessing of the father. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
