Summary:

Although Georgiana Carley and Richard Coleman have known each other since childhood, they do not realize their love for each other until Dick is about to go to fight in the Philippines. Wealthy former miner Sam Coast, whose proposal was earlier refused by Georgiana, interrupts Dick's proposal and then tells him that he and Georgiana are engaged. Coast sends his butler with Dick's regiment to make sure that no letters go between Dick and Georgiana. After Coast induces Georgiana's brother Steven to gamble his wife's and Georgiana's fortunes on stocks that fail, Steven's wife goes to the Grand Duke Vladimir's house to begin an affair. Georgiana detains her suspecting brother and gets there first, thus staining her own reputation. Coast discovers Georgiana's ruse, and when he threatens to tell Steven, she agrees to marry him. Meanwhile, Dick, taken prisoner, blows up the hut in which he is confined, and escapes. He returns just in time to stop the wedding and marries Georgiana himself.
