Trama

Dick Mason is arrested for defending a girl's honor in a Chicago restaurant brawl, and his father sends him to Lithuania where his family owns a share in a cattle concession. By chance, the girl from the restaurant is also bound for the Balkans. While on board, Dick undertakes to renew his acquaintance with this attractive foreigner, but encounters considerable resistance. In Lithuania, Dick meets with Count Vortsky, the Minister of Finance, who presses him to sell his cattle concession, hoping to clinch a coup attempt he is planning with the Bulgarian Ambassador. Somewhat suspicious, Dick agrees to announce his decision only in the presence of Princess Alexia, who turns out to be the girl from the restaurant. When she advises him not to sell, the love-bitten Dick refuses the count. The count nevertheless instigates a revolution, but with the help of his Chicago assistants, Dick squelches the uprising and wins the princess' heart.—Pamela Short

Dick Mason stops a young ruffian who is annoying a girl in a big restaurant. Dick has to break his opponent's nose, several dishes and a couple of fingers of his own to do it. The result is that Mason has to spend a night in jail for his fistic exhibition. Dick's father rewards his adventurous son by exiling him to the little Balkan kingdom of Lithunia, where Mr. Mason, Sr., has just purchased a share in a cattle concession. Dick manifests little interest in his trip until he discovers on shipboard the girl for whom he had done battle (and one day behind bars). At first she shows no more regard for Mason than she did for the man who Dick knocked down, but on the last night out Dick is overjoyed to receive this unsigned note: "Thanks for your interest in me, both in Chicago and aboard the ship, you most wonderful boy." When Dick arrives in far-off Lithunia, he goes immediately to see Count Vortsky, the Minister of Finance, who has been carrying on a plot with the Bulgarian Ambassador. Vortsky only awaits word from Col. Mason's representative, his son, that he will sell. Dick agrees to give his final decision in the council room next day in the presence of the Princess Alexia, ruler of Lithunia. Dick discovers that the Princess is no other than the girl of the cabaret and when she signifies that she does not wish him to dispose of his holdings, he changes his decision and announces he will keep the concession. Vortsky, to whom the Princess is engaged, stirs up a revolution, but Dick and a few able Chicago assistants, commence a counter movement which wins the day, and the Princess, for himself.—Moving Picture World synopsis
