'The story concerns a young English diplomat in London, who, through the treachery of a friend, finds himself mixed up with a band of anarchists, who select him for the work of assassinating a Russian prince while the latter is on a visit to England. The head of the anarchists is a very beautiful Russian woman of noble family, to whom the young Englishman's father, while British ambassador in St. Petersburg, had done a grievous wrong. In the end, when there seems to be absolutely no escape for the unfortunate youth from murder at the hands of the ruffians whose wish he has declined to carry out, the revengeful desires of the woman are overcome by her love for the man she had marked as her victim, and together they outwit his enemies.'
