Dr. Kovis Miklos and Fraulein Emma have long been at the little hospital and the two have become greatly attracted to each other, yet ever the doctor seems to be laboring under some difficulty which makes him reluctant to speak his mind. Dr. Rejto, another physician, seems to be forever watching the movements of Dr. Kovis. One day a little drummer boy is brought into the hospital and he pleads with Fraulein for goat's milk. She determines to obtain some for him, and together with Dr. Kovis, they seek out a woman up in the mountains from whom they obtain the milk. But it is too late. The Servian woman from whom they obtain the milk becomes their good friend and often they visit her. Finally Fraulein gives up the hospital work and goes to live with her. As Dr. Kovis is going off duty one day a man is brought in whom he goes back to attend. He secures a note which he reads furtively, then he leaves hurriedly. Dr. Rejto has been watching and discovers that the man brought in is not injured and so Rejto orders the arrest of Kovis. The soldiers pursue him, but he manages to elude them and arrives at the Servian woman's home badly injured. He tries to make light of his wound, but tells Fraulein Emma that he is a Servian spy. This almost stuns her, but the love she has for him overcomes the feeling of disappointment. Soon after the soldiers knock at the door and she commands Kovis to lie down on the couch, and she tells the officers that Kovis is dead. When they examine him it seems true. They decide to eat and while they are thus engaged Fraulein notices Kovis moving, as does the officer, but when the latter examines Kovis again he finds that he is dead. When the soldiers leave Fraulein, Emma calls joyously to Kovis, but he is really dead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
