Synopsis

Prince Nicholas Alexnov falls asleep on the fire escape of an East Side tenement in New York and dreams of his elegant palace in Russia: An old servant tries to rouse him, but he will not wake up even though a revolution is imminent; at a conference held in the drawing room, the Princess Sophia, among others, is excited over the threatening labor strikes; a wounded footman staggers in shouting "Revolution"; and after killing a ruffian who pursues his sister, Nicholas escapes with her. Wakened by a broken milk bottle, the prince finds himself in the shabby milieu of his sister and his faithful friends. Nicholas goes to pawn a plaque but instead buys a painting from Annabelle Ford, in his pride pretending to be a collector. At a party given by wealthy Cynthia Stevens, Nicholas ignores the hostess in favor of Annabelle, who is courted also by Peter Paget. Nicholas then poses as a butler at Paget's country home to be near her. Ultimately, Paget is united with Sophia, and Nicholas carries off the rebellious Annabelle.
