Hal, who loves Marguerite, finds a rival in Durbar, a mystic at the head of a religious cult, who seeks to induce the heiress to become its priestess. The air of mystery surrounding the cult appeals to Marguerite. Hal, however, reveals Durbar to be a scoundrel.
The boy meets Martha. This woman, on the verge of starvation, tells how Durbar had robbed her of her fortune after he had promised to wed her. Durbar, learning that Martha has revealed his villainy, orders her abducted and brought to the house in which the followers of the cult meet.
Hal unwittingly places himself in Durbar's power and is made prisoner. 'I he mystic then entices Marguerite to the house, where he informs her that unless she marries him in accordance
with the rites of the cult, Hal will die. Durbar gives the girl fifteen minutes in which to decide.
Martha, picking the lock of her door, succeeds in escaping. The girl enters Marguerite’s room. Upon learning what has occurred, Martha induces the heiress to don her clothes, while she puts on the bridal garments and heavy veil laid out for Marguerite. When Durbar returns, he mistakes the veiled girl for Marguerite.
Hal, compelled to witness the ceremony, unloosens his bonds the moment it is completed. At the same time Marth.T raises her veil and confronts Durbar. Throwing the latter’s henchmen aside, Hal dashes into the next room where he finds his Marguerite.
Together, the two make their escape.
