The young man who calls himself Rudolph Kohler, is in reality Duke Rudolph, the heir apparent. Duke Humbert, Rudolph's father, has been ill for some time and when the anniversary of the country's freedom arrives, is unable to take his place at the head of the procession. It is therefore decided that Rudolph go in his place. Clara has a seat in the grandstand and as the procession approaches she sees a man crouching beside her with a revolver in his hand. Fearing mischief, she watches him and as he springs forward to fire she grasps his arm and the shot goes wild. He is soon overpowered and as Clara is lifted to her feet she finds herself face to face with Rudolph and she realizes that it was her lover whom she saved from assassination. After the parade, Rudolph hurries to her and begs her to become his wife. Owing to his station she refuses, but he assures her that he will overcome all obstacles, and so she consents. But Rudolph finds that his father will not consent to the union and so he resigns all claim to his inheritance and decides to marry her at once. He instructs his comrade, Von Bulon, to take his sister and Clara to his own place where he will join them with a priest. They have hardly arrived when Von Bulon discovers a party of officers in a hilarious mood dismounting. He succeeds in hiding the girls in the next room just as the officers, led by Rudolph's cousin Michael, burst into the room. They find a glove which Clara has dropped and at once demand to see the woman. Von Bulon is dragged from the door and enters the room and is dragging the terrified girl out, when Rudolph enters and. taking in the situation at a glance, hurls Michael to the floor. This results in a challenge which Rudolph accepts. The next morning he is seriously wounded and Von Bulon is sent to inform his father. Duke Humbert relents when he hears of Rudolph's wound and at once goes to him. Here for the first time he sees Clara and his impression of her is so favorable that he decides that his son's choice has been a wise one and takes her into his arms.
