“A travelling Englishman comes upon a Polish maiden, in the company of a notorious conspirator, both pursued by the police, in a village of Russian Poland. The conspirator is dispatched early in the game, and the maiden is left on the Englishman’s hands. Being highspirited and impressionable, the Englishman is nothing loth to accept the charge, and the pair lead the police a merry chase all the way to Warsaw, where the action culminates in street riots and other forms of excitement.”—Dial.
