A story of two beautiful twin sisters taken to India by their mother, one of whom becomes the object of the adoration of an Indian, Prince Hernam Singh, whose mother, the Maharanee, is violently opposed to their marriage. So extreme is the hatred of the mother to this union of her son with the foreign woman that she plots to break it by kidnapping the girl and throwing her to him in the belief that his Oriental blood will tell, and that he will treat her as he is accustomed to treat women, but as the two girls are so alike as to be almost undistinguishable, the wrong one is seized. A second attempt is made with the object of having the girl killed by a cobra, but is foiled by the efforts of a missionary who disguises herself as an amah and finds where the captive is held prisoner. The prince has his neck broken by falling down a set of marble steps—a somewhat tame finish to his magnificence, but it brings an end to the story with the colour line unbroken.
