From the moment when, at the conclusion of the ceremony, the bride's old flames come forward to kiss her, she starts on a flirting campaign that causes her husband to gnash his teeth. On the start of the wedding tour there are complications; the bride is left at a station where she insisted on getting out for refreshment. She is accompanied by an old admirer. Once more united with her husband, she accompanies him to a little European kingdom, where fresh trouble starts. The commandant of the garrison and his officers become her slaves. Count Max, detailed to the garrison, falls a victim. The bride goes boating with him and he gives her a packet, requesting her to forward it to his mother if he falls in battle. A spy informs the commandant that the bride is a fellow conspirator with Count Max, who is suspected of being a foreign emissary. She flees from arrest and is captured by brigands. Count Max is also caught, but released when he proves that he is an enemy of the government. The soldiers, raiding the bandits, rescue the bride. She is chained in a dungeon. Her husband arrives with the American consul, and she is released on condition that her husband take her out of the country before she makes a victim of the crown prince. Tearfully she swears never again to look at a man.
