Will Norfolk, a lieutenant of yeomanry, asks for the next dance. He is very shy and awkward, but is truly a man among men. After the dance Will sees an opportunity to apologize to her and he does so. Lady Constance extends her hand for Will to kiss as a token of her forgiveness, when Lord Howard sees in Will a possible rival and angrily takes Lady Constance off. The next day Lord Howard writes two letters, one to Lady Constance reminding her of her promise to meet him at the Abbey Inn to dine, and the other to Will Norfolk warning him not to pay his accustomed visit to the Abbey Inn and to cease his attentions to Lady Constance under pain of death. His lordship gets the letters mixed; Lady Constance receives the one intended for Will Norfolk, while he gets hers and learns from it that she has promised to meet Lord Howard at the Abbey Inn; whereupon Will decides to go to the inn himself. When Constance reads Will's letter she realizes that Will, not having received the warning letter, will be at the inn and mindful of her own promise to meet Lord Howard there, she knows they will meet. Constance decides to disguise herself as a man and go to the inn to see what will happen. Constance is the first to arrive at the inn and is taken for a man by Will Norfolk, who discovers her identity. Lord Howard arrives at the inn accompanied by his lackey, but finds that Lady Constance has not yet arrived. He, however, orders dinner and proceeds into the tap room. Here he finds what appears to be a young man and tries to enter into conversation. After a few moments he discovers to his great surprise that the young man is in reality Lady Constance in disguise. Unaware of the presence of Will Norfolk, who is hidden behind a convenient screen, Lord Howard shows up in his true colors by insulting her. Will promptly comes to her assistance and in a thrilling sword fight with Lord Howard and his lackey he vanquishes them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
