The love of the old baron for the grandchild, to succeed him is displayed. An adventurer, posing as an ambassador, is royally entertained. A feast scene is particularly good. At night the adventurer and his men capture the castle, the baron is brought before the impostor and efforts made to secure knowledge of the treasure. The child has been killed in the melee. He Is brought before the old baron on a cot. A dissolving effect shows an angel punishing the adventurer, and the baron's reconciliation to the dispensation of Providence. Religious subtitles at two points aid in giving the picture strength. Written by
