Her action is watched by a jealous rival, who tells the girl's parents of their daughter's perfidy. Whilst he is relating his discovery, the young squire and his love are enjoying a pleasant tete-a-tete in the grounds of the castle. They are again discovered by the rival, who summons the old knight, and together they confront the lovers, the young squire being turned out of the grounds .But his rival's triumph is not long-lived. It is discovered that this is connected with the enemy. War has been proclaimed, and the King is busy examining plans. These the rival steals, but his crime is detected by the young squire, who tussles with him. In the combat the corner is torn off the plans, though the hero is wounded in the encounter. As recompense, he is promoted to the rank of officer, and still tracking down his rival, whose treachery he ultimately unveils, he sees him attempting the destruction of the ship on which the King is to direct the battle. But rather than submit to capture, the traitor jumps overboard, and is drowned. The battle, a thrilling scene, results in victory for the King, who on his return to his own country is the means of bringing about a union between the knight's daughter and her gallant lover.
