The old King of Servia, no longer able to bear the burden of the government, abdicates in favor of the Crown Prince, and a Regency is established during his youth. Prince Francis, dissatisfied with the policies of the Regent, rebels against the Regent and attempts to prevent the coming coronation of Sergius. He is, however, overwhelmingly crushed at the battle of Zura and retires, a broken man, with his beautiful daughter, shorn of all rank, to a life of seclusion in Paris. The Crown Prince is soon afterwards sent to complete his studies in that city, and by chance meets the beautiful princess, without either of them knowing the other's identity. He falls in love with her immediately, and gaining the exiled Prince's consent, he marries her without disclosing his true identity. Several years later, when he returns to be crowned, the Princess Sonia wishes to marry him, in order to ascend the throne with him, but, upon being repulsed by him, she plots the destruction of the Crown Prince, and with the aid of the Regent and the Chancellor, finds out the secret of Sergius's romantic marriage. She succeeds in trapping both him and his young son and nearly succeeds in carrying out her despicable plans. The Crown Prince, however, has a few steadfast friends at Court, who, organized in his defense, conduct a series of daring counterplots that finally bring victory in a most clever way to Sergius and his beautiful bride, and the coronation proceeds with all the pomp and glory of the magnificent Servian Court.
