At Deauville, an informal conference of diplomatic powers is attended by: Julian Weymouth (Neil

(Arthur Edmund Carewe), a young Russian royalist; the Marquise de Zares (Julia Swayne Gordon)
and her daughter, Dora (Blanche Sweet); and Countess Zicka (Arlette Marchal), who sells political

friends at the British Embassy, unaware that Julian and Dora, who have just been married, are
leaving for London with a treaty from the Chinese delegation. Julian's trust in Dora is shattered
