Synopsis
Adrienne, a Gypsy girl performing in a traveling carnival, falls in love with Mauritz, the crown prince, who is traveling incognito, but they must part when, for diplomatic reason, he is called upon to make love to the rich wife of an influential man. Adrienne later becomes a great dramatic actress and again meets the prince at a time when he is struggling to win his throne from a usurping dictator. With Adrienne's help, the prince becomes king, but she and Mauritz must again go their separate ways, he to the palace and she to the theater.
