At the castle of Count Zilimsky in the Russian annexed Poland at the end of the Tsarist era. The count, who has a grown daughter from his first marriage, is getting married for the second time.

“Nice shots, atmospheric pictures, fights in which Austrians, Germans and Russians are involved increase the overall effect. The bearer of the main role Miss Fern Andra is an extremely sympathetic figure who seems to be called to create some good things. "
