Sheldon, the English Ambassador, receives a message from his from his government ordering him to locate the Prince and induce him to sign the mediation pact which would avert the struggle. Sarniff, Brabanian Ambassador, is ordered by his government to frustrate all peace moves. Knowing that the war desired by his government will take place if the pact is not signed by midnight, Sarniff cleverly has the Prince, who is scheduled to attend an embassy ball, abducted and imprisoned in a shack out in the country. Nora, a maid, accidentally learns of the kidnapping. She immediately imparts her discovery to Larkins, her sweetheart, who is in charge of the special police guarding the embassy grounds. Accompanied by some of his men, the officer rescues Prince Rudolph and rushes him to the embassy. The Prince arrives just before midnight. Rudolph learns for the first time the situation which has arisen during his absence from home.
