The young Grand Duke, now an orphan, comes to America to complete his education. The Nihilists send Perelley to kill him, but he is apprehended by the Secret Service, who know the details of the plot. They dress the man in the Grand Duke's clothes and chain him to a carriage, and thus he rides as the nobleman. The Grand Duke, closely resembling Perelley, comes upon their rendezvous and goaded on by the nihilists, throws a box of bonbons at his double, unwillingly riding in the carriage. To make sure of their capture at the opportune time, the Grand Duke goes with them into the country. Perelley escapes from the carriage, and his presence at the rendezvous makes it very necessary that the Grand Duke explain. He escapes, unharmed, with the aid of Dardinilis' daughter. When they are captured by the police the very lenient young Duke calls it a draw and lets it go. Count Dardinilis becomes colonel of the Black Huzzars and his daughter becomes the Duchess of Kiev.
