During an annual celebration in which English peasants and aristocrats mingle, the Duke of Loame is thrown from his horse and saved by Ivis Benson, the daughter of a tenant farmer. Both injured, they fall in love, to the dismay of his mother and Lady Eileen, his intended bride.

The Duke of Loame
Lady Eileen
Lord Chettington
Dowager Duchess
By this point in her short career, Olive Thomas had it down. She commanded the screen effortlessly. Although still not getting the close-up crying thing down, I have noticed that seems to be the way it was then, over-emoting the cry. She is extremely effective at handling the range of emotions required of her in this film, and despite the story itself being less than stellar, it all works because of her. The supporting cast also does a fine job.
