Synopsis
In order to realign France with Germany and Russia and cause political strife with England, a Russian diplomat, the Grand Duke Augustus Peter, plans a rendezvous with two colleagues in Monte Carlo. Posing as a gambler named Mr. Grex, the duke arrives in Monte Carlo with his daughter Feodora and arranges to meet his conspirators for the signing of a secret treaty. In the meantime, Feodora is courted ardently by Richard Lane, a rich American who refuses to be rejected. When young Lord Huntersley, a spy of the British Secret Service and a friend of Lane's, appears on the scene, he casts suspicion on Lane, whose movements are then monitored by Grex. After inadvertently foiling various plans of the diplomats, Lane teams up with Huntersley, substituting his yacht for the usurpers', which prevents the signing of the treaty. Lane whisks Feodora away on the yacht and marries her in international waters.

Notes
The novel first appeared in serial form in The Saturday Evening Post. Some scenes were shot in the foothills of Laurel Canyon, Hollywood, and in an Italian style villa in Pasadena. Monte Carlo was recreated in Santa Monica. A pre-production article states that Richard Willis, head of the Favorite Players studio organization, was writing the scenario for this film.
