Poor Hester Prynne finds herself most unwelcome in England.
American horror movie from 1913.
A young American doctor and his brother are involved in an auto accident in a foreign country. The doctor happens to catch a glance of a beautiful princess and falls immediately in love. Meanwhile, in a neighboring country, the princess' husband--a spoiled wastrel who happens to look just like the doctor--is in pursuit of a courtesan. The doctor overhears a group of army officers plotting to kill the king and put the prince on the throne. Unfortunately for the doctor, the plotters mistake him for the prince.
Though the majority of the film may be lost, a fragment of its Kinemacolor footage survives.
