Plot

A short (five-reel) feature, this farce is about a Frenchman (Griffith) and a prince (Powell) vying for the hand of the Countess Elvire (Vera Voronina). Griffith feigns death in a duel, only to return disguised as a spirit; he abducts his lady love from the altar and they make their escape in a hot air balloon; the two are ultimately married by a nearsighted minister.
