The story

As described in a film magazine, Count Franz Maxmilian (Kerry), a happy-go-lucky, irresponsible count, is attached to the Austrian court of Emperor Francis Joseph (Vaverka) and by the Emperor's mandate is affianced to Gisella (Wallace), the daughter of the Minister of War and a woman he does not love. Having by chance met the innocent little organ-grinder Agnes (Philbin), a peasant toiling in Vienna's amusement park, representing a type of womanhood with which he is totally unfamiliar, he experiences a strong attraction. By the dictates of court etiquette, the hated union is solemnized.
