SYNOPSIS

Prince Adolph of Syravia, while on a pleasure trip through America, meets Jo Sheldon, a charming American girl. Some time later, at a Charity Fete, they again meet and rapidly fall in love.

Mrs. Sheldon, Jo's step-mother, being deeply in debt, and unable to repay her creditors, forges Jo's signature to a note for the amount of her debts and gets the money from a Mr. Bote, a friend of the family and very wealthy, whose on ambition in life is to have the title of a Baron. The condition of the note is that jo Marry the Prince and have him bestow the title upon Bote.

The Duchess Louise, worried by the love of Jo and the Prince, explains to him that he will be able to marry Jo, only by a morganatic marriage. When the Prince proposes this to Jo, she indignantly refuses. Mr. Bote, hearing of this, tells Jo that he will stop payment on the check and send her father and step-mother to prison. Jo, knowing nothing of the note, goes to her step-mother for an explanation, whereupon after being told everything, she agrees to the marriage to save her father.

In the meanwhile, the Prince receives a decoy message that his father, the King, is dying. He informs Jo that he must leave immediately, and asks her to await his return. On reaching the palace he finds his father in the best of health. Telling his younger brother of his love, he persuades him to reign in his place, and escapes to America, determined to sacrifice the throne and become an American citizen.

Mrs. Sheldon, cashes the check and runs off to a foreign port, while Jo leaves for the country where her father's factory is located.

The King, on learning of his son's escape, sends one of his men to America, to persuade him to return and stop the marriage. The servant, arriving there ahead of the Prince, secures a position in Mr. Sheldon's factory. Jo is seriously injured in an accident, caused by the King's servant, who tries to make a get-away, but is caught and severely punished.

The story ends happily, with Jo's complete recovery and her marriage with the Prince.
