Rudolph Valentino stars as Vladimir Dubrovsky, a young Russian Cossack officer who rejects the czarina's (Louise Dresser) amorous attention and is promptly branded a deserter in this silent tale of love and revenge.

Somehow she is selected by the ruling Russian family to be the bride of Karl Ulrich, duke of Holstein-Gottorp, grandson of Peter the Great and heir to the throne of Russia as the Grand Duke Peter, to whom she was distantly related, though that's not mentioned in the film.
Historically, she arrived at Russian court in 1744, where the matriarch Elizabeth (Louise Dresser, who hilariously enacts this monarch as if she were an American tenement gossip) ruled.
Elizabeth instantly gave the teen a new title and name, Grand Duchess Catherine Alekseyevna, and shortly after she married Peter (Sam Jaffe).
