Synopsis
Mrs. Michael Ramsay, neglected by her Chicago wheatbroker husband and her daughter, Mathilda, meets and falls in love with Monsieur Jaromir, the deposed King of Morania. Although Mathilda is in love with Professor Reade, she tries to save her mother by luring away the king and finds herself in compromising circumstances, while Michael Ramsay arranges to buy Morania's wheat if the king should return to the throne. Mrs. Ramsay realizes the impropriety of her conduct and returns to her husband; Reade perceives the truth and is gladly reunited with Mathilda; Jaromir returns to his throne; and failure of the American wheat crop brings a fortune to Ramsay. A similar story is worked out in prehistoric settings.
