Synopsis

Mildred, a young stenographer, seeks protection at the mission run by Austin Farrol, known as "The Prince," when her employer, Trent, an unscrupulous politician, attempts to seduce her. Mildred begins to work at the mission and falls in love with Farrol. Farrol is accused of arson when a fire started by Trent destroys the mission; but he escapes when the train he rides crashes, assumes a disguise, and gets a position in Trent's household. During a party Trent's child falls from a window and is believed to be permanently crippled, but Farrol, with "divine power," is able to cure her. The film is highlighted by a spectacular train crash.
