- Nicolai Orloff, a horse dealer, is swayed in the management of all his affairs by his selfish mistress, Glasha. His daughter Sonia, returning from school, discovers the other woman strangely antagonistic toward her, particularly when she meets and falls in love with Prince Alexis. Desiring the prince herself, Glasha prevails upon Orloff to forbid his daughter continuing her romance with him. Later, Glasha disappears and the prince is accused of murdering her. It develops in the end, however, that she was killed by enraged peasant women who objected to the harsh treatment accorded them by Orloff, who they knew was influenced by Glasha.
- A romance in the upper-classes develops as the Bolshevik revolution is at hand.
- Dissatisfied with the profits of his gambling house, the Busy Inn, Bessyne resorts to robbery at night. Eugenia, his wife, who does her share in extorting money from those who visit the Inn, persuades her husband to force Anna, his sister, who has been reluctant up to now, to take part in the scheme. As a result of her participation Anna falls in love with Prince Myloff, one of the frequenters of the Inn, and with whom Eugenia is also fascinated, and in revenge, Eugenia poisons the mind of the prince against Anna. Disheartened, Anna drinks what she believes is poison, and, feeling that she is dying, summons the prince, who has called at the Inn, and assures him that she really loves him. Convinced, the prince has Anna taken to his home for treatment, and declares that their betrothal will be announced at once. But Bessyne relieves the tension by revealing that what Anna drank was only a sleeping potion.
