Had he not caught the man red-handed, cheating? Of course, he hadn't meant to kill him when he knocked him down the stairs; but Black would listen to no refusal and Oakley finally left for France, where, sometime later, he joined the French army, saved his colonel's life, received recognition for valor before the regiment and was made a sergeant, The colonel soon discovered that Oakley was a man of breeding and made him his secretary, whereupon Oakley proceeded to fall in love with his daughter, Louise. But being only a non-commissioned officer, and compelled to keep his antecedents a secret, he saw no possibility of her father's sanctioning the suit. Fate proves the expediency however, and Oakley is discovered by a Lieutenant de Berg (also a suitor for the hand of Louise), making love to her. In the interview which follows de Berg consents to keep silent only on condition that rank be waived and that they fight a duel, the survivor to continue his suit unmolested. The meeting is arranged and de Berg is wounded. Two soldiers accidentally see the encounter and inform the colonel. Later Oakley is court-martialed but refuses to divulge the cause of the duel. Oakley's friend, Black, endeavors to secure his release, but without avail. Eventually he meets an English lawyer who informs him that he is searching for one Jonas Oakley, who is now heir to a large estate. Black tells him everything, and by their united efforts they secure Oakley's release through a written confession from de Berg. Affairs of the heart and honor are readjusted, and Louise's happiness is entrusted to the now "Lord Oakley." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
