There is great anxiety in diplomatic circles over an impending war between Weerhelm and Brabania. Prince Rudolph, the ruler of W'eerhelm, is traveling in this country incognito. Sheldon, the English Ambassador receives a message from his government ordering him to locate the Prince and induce him to sign the mediation pact which would avert the struggle.
Sarniff. Brabanian Ambassador, is ordered by his government to frustrate all peace moves. Knowing that the war desired by his government will take place if the pact is not signed by midnight. Sarniff cleverly has the Prince, who is scheduled to attend an embassy
ball, abducted and imprisoned in a shack out in the country.
Nora, a maid, accidentally learns of the kidnapping. She immediately imparts her discovery to Larkins, her sweetheart, who is in charge of the special police guarding the embassy grounds. Accompanied by some of his men, the officer rescues Prince Rudolph and rushes him to the embassy.
The Prince arrives just before midnight. Rudolph learns for the first time the situation which has arisen during his absence from home. Seizing a pen, the ruler signs the document held before him by Sheldon, and thus frustrates the designs of the Brabanians.
