Mr. Power, to square things, poses as a Russian prince and is introduced by Mr. Menjou to Miss Young, wealthy heiress, on the understanding that he will be exposed, Mr. Menjou receiving a present from Miss Young's lather in return for having bared the prince's true identity.

Growing up under the careful eye of her grandmother, the heiress-presumptive promises to become a woman well equipped to be a second Queen Elizabeth. Such material for the throne, coupled with the fact that Premier Baldwin's government seems to have sharpened its democratic mace against Bolshevik and Fascist competition, ought more than ever to make the public conscious of the monarchy...
