The story

While visiting Vienna incognito, Russian Grand Duke Peter is lured from a masquerade ball by the beautiful Maria, only to find himself the prisoner of Polish nationalists. Peter is made to write a letter to his father, the tsar of Russia, offering to exchange him for Maria's father, who has been sentenced to be executed. Because their previous petitions for clemency were intercepted and never reached the Tsar, the Poles task secret agent Baron Stephan Wolensky to deliver the letter.
