Synopsis

Queen Anna Victoria of Herzegovina is exiled from her tiny country and forced to live in poverty in America. Meanwhile, King Stephen of Bosnia, whom she loves but cannot marry due to political reasons, also is exiled to America. When both are forced by circumstances to get jobs, they go to work for wealthy New York meat packer Adolph Lauman who soon decides that his daughter should marry Stephen for social status. Eventually, Lauman's daughter convinces her father that she is in love with an American and Stephen and Anna are returned to their respective thrones, now free to marry each other.

Notes

The play was turned into a musical in 1913 by Reginald De Koven, called Her Little Highness, but this source is not listed in studio credits to the film. In the 1918 MPSD, Danny "Kid" Hogan is listed as either an actor, the assistant director, or both on this film.
