Comment
A prince is about to be crowned king, but his popular half-brother, drugs and kidnapps him to stop him becoming king. Howver a visiting English gentry (Lewis Stone) looks identical to the prince and so is talked into pretening to be him and get crowned in his place till the real prince can be rescued. Things are further complicated by Alice Terry being torn between duty and love. This is a well made and well acted silent film with a good central performance from Lewis Stone and support from Alice Terry as the love interest. There are various film versions of this story and this is one of the best.
