- During the French Revolution, a wealthy couple lives safely by professing republican beliefs. When a mob attacks a nearby chateau an aristocrat bursts into the couple's home. They save his life by disguising him as a servant, but he soon forces his attentions on the wife. Hearing their struggle, the husband intervenes and, stripping the aristocrat of his disguise, thrusts him outdoors to be killed by the mob.—Anonymous
- A story of the French Revolution. Our story shows a party of the nobility endeavoring to evade the insurrectionists, but only one succeeds in outdistancing them. He rushes into the house of an aristocrat who is immune from trouble on account of his professed republicanism. Here he begs succor, which is granted, and he manages to elude his pursuers in the role of the aristocrat's servant. However, the riotous mob ransacks the house and grounds in a predatory manner, taking up quarters on the outside from which point to work deeds of lawlessness. It is not assumed that the hunted man adhered to his principles through loyalty or honor. No, he was rather the cowardly cur, as we shall see. Hardly ensconced in the house, he at once shows his despicable nature by questionable advances toward the wife of his savior. She, at first, does not realize the meaning of his attentions, assuming them to be an exaggerated show of gratitude, but it is not long before she awakens to the truth, and the timely arrival of her husband saves her from the viper's clutches. The husband would at first shoot him down like a dog, but no: on second thought a better plan occurs to him. Making him, at the point of a pistol, resume his original attire, he forces him out among the mob where he meets his just fate. In conclusion, we must add that the above but vaguely describes one of the most thrilling moving picture subjects ever attempted.—Moving Picture World synopsis
