"A wealthy republican family saves an Aristocrat from a mob during the French Revolution. But when the aristocrat shows his true colours by forcing his attentions on the wife, the husband intervenes and brings him back to the mob. Hard to connect to the story emotionally, though the seeds of Griffith’s cinematic ethics are planted in this early work of his."
