Synopsis
As a child, Marcia Warren, the daughter of an American civil engineer working in Russia, aspires to marry Prince Michael Orbeliana, the son of her father's employer. The prince later marries Baroness Olga Amilahvari, who is untrue to him, while Marcia becomes a noted opera singer. The prince calls on her and renews old affections, then the war comes, and the prince goes to the front with the Czar's troops. When he returns after the birth of Bolshevism, the prince learns that his wife and her lover Count Alix Voronassof have both been killed. In disguise, the prince searches for Marcia, who has been alone since her father died. Peter Poroschine is enamored of Marcia, and with other Bolshevists, he captures and tries to "nationalize" her. After the prince arrives in time to help Marcia outwit Peter, she and the prince escape together to America.
