Synopsis
Sir Edward Dominey and Baron Leopold von Ragastein, almost identical classmates at Oxford, meet again several years later in German East Africa during the Great War. Von Ragastein is serving as military commandant, and Dominey has left England after being suspected of murdering a man who has interfered with his marriage. Von Ragastein plots to have Dominey poisoned by the natives; and assuming Dominey's name, he proceeds to England to spy for the German Emperor. There he meets Princess Eiderstrom, with whom he has had a previous affair, and she resents his apparent affection for the mentally ill Rosamond. The princess, along with Schmidt, another German spy, accuses him of violating national ethics; it transpires, however, that Ragastein is actually Dominey, who has thwarted his enemies. The princess and Schmidt are arrested, and Rosamond is happily reunited with her husband, whom she had suspected to be an imposter.
