Princess Annia (Estelle Taylor) is a Russian royal who must flee for her life after the revolution ousts the monarchy. Mischka (Forrest Stanley) is the heroic commoner who helps her escape from Felix Bavu (Wallace Beery), the henchman sent to round up the new enemies of the state. The illiterate Mishcka's only hope of escape is to obtain a passport that has been approved by the treasurer. A stamp of approval negates his need to read the document. Bavu chases the duo on a horsedrawn sled over frozen water as he tries to capture the escapees. Sylvia Breamer plays Bavu's girlfriend Olga and co-stars with Joseph Swickard, Nick De Ruiz, and Martha Mattox. The film version is one of few from the silent era that is better than the original stage production. The film was released at a time of heightened anti-communist sentiment in the United States.
