In a spirit of recklessness, he pawns a valuable watch given him by a grateful republic for services rendered. With the proceeds he enters a prominent Parisian restaurant to dine. There he attracts the attention of the Princess de Grandlieu, her husband, the Prince, and her legal advisor, M. Adolph Chambret. While there an incident occurs which earns the hatred of her advisor, who is in love with her. Later O'Rourke repairs to a gambling house, adjacent to the restaurant. The Princess and party go to a ball at the Hotel Ritz. As usual, the young adventurer attempts to increase his fortune and, as usual, he loses all. Meantime, the Princess receives a note, by messenger, from her brother, telling her that he is in danger of being killed in the desert of Sahara, where he is attempting to establish an Empire against the Princess' wishes. The note also informs her that the Prince, her husband, is at the bottom of it all, as his fortune will revert to her at his death and thus the Prince will gain control of more money. Out of loyalty to her brother, the Princess plans a rescue party which she hopes to have O'Rourke lead. Her adviser is ordered to search him out and bring him to her. Chambret finds O'Rourke in the gambling house, broke. He insults him by referring to a rose received from the Princess. O'Rourke, not waiting for explanations, knocks Chambret down and speeds away. The Princess, on her way home, is insulted by the Prince, who endeavors to learn the contents of the note she has received. Rourke hears her scream for help; he pursues in a taxicab, effects a rescue and takes the Princess home. There he is told of the mission which she wants him to undertake. Of course the adventurer agrees to her wish much to the discomfiture of the Prince and Chambret. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
