As described in a film magazine review,[2] groom Peter Remsen, a man about town, races through the town and arrives an hour earlier than expected, finding his bride in the arms of another man. He tears up the marriage license and hires himself out to the European kingdom of Luzania to drown his remorse. There he becomes a general in the King Lavoris's army, getting His Majesty out of daily wars with Belgradia. After winning some of the daily wars, the King makes him his valet. He then saves Princess Patricia from the Prime Minister, who seeks to usurp the throne and entering into a forced marriage with the King's daughter.
