Plot

edit

As described in a film magazine review,[4] Rupert, the second son of the King of Koronia, goes to America where he meets Linda Lee Stafford, a young woman he previously had become acquainted with back home. He tells her of his love for her. Rupert is then called back to Koronia upon the death of his older brother the Crown Prince, putting Rupert in direct line to the throne. However, twins are then born to the widow of the deceased Crown Prince. This makes Rupert free to wed whom he will, and he rushes to see Linda who has returned to Europe on a visit.
