Bela Lugosi played Paul Bertram, a famous violinist. While on honeymoon, Bertram and his wife are attacked by Izau (Károly Lajthay), a pianist in love with Bertram’s wife. Bertram kills the pianist in a duel and flees to the forest, leaving his bride mistakenly believing that he has been killed by Izau. She has him arrested and imprisoned. They are reunited when Bertram reveals his true identity to her by playing a tune that he played to her on their wedding night.
