Laundress Catherine helps young Napoleon and shelters aristocrat Philippe during the French Revolution, while her fiancé Lefebvre advances in the army.

The castle of the Scottish Gordon clan has been leased to a wealthy American, Andrew Quainton, whose daughter is the charming Peggy. Unfortunately, the heir to the clan's chief has been lost, and the castle will eventually have to be ceded to the Crown. Peggy has no interest in joining the British aristocracy and has sworn not to marry a nobleman. She disguises herself as a strolling fortune teller and soon meets a young private in the Gordon Highlanders, Angus Graeme. Angus woos Peggy and gains her affection, and she is delighted to fall in love with the humble Scottish soldier lad. News arrives that the long-lost heir to the Gordon titles and fortune is Angus. He is worried that this might cause Peggy to leave him, so he continues to pretend to be plain Angus until he can figure out a way to tell her that he is really an Earl. Peggy's brother is expected to arrive soon, and Angus intends to involve him in the deception. The plan goes awry, as Peggy impersonates her brother, and Angus tells her the secret. Peggy is annoyed at having been misled, but she is a practical American and loves Angus, so all ends happily.
A melodramatic horse-racing spectacle built around mortgages and an encumbered estate, a wronged pregnant woman, an impecunious earl, trained racehorses and a villain.
A spectacular blood-and-thunder melodrama follows heroine Lady Di Sartoris amid a dissolute earl, a villainous marquis, and a hero seeking her hand. The staging featured a horse race and a train wreck with live steam, alongside other sensational scenes.
