On arriving in England. Azimoah sees Queen Victoria, who refuses the petition on the grounds that Nana Sahib was only an adopted son of the former ruler. Azimoah, on his return trip to India, meets a little Scotch lassie, who is on her way to join her father, a missionary in India. Azimoah becomes infatuated with the lassie, but on his arrival loses track of her until Nana Sahib sees her and desires her for his harem. The uprising breaks out in India against England. The treachery of the Sepoys, the brutality of Nana Sahib and his followers, the extreme cruelty exercised upon the women and children and the anguish and suffering of the English followed closely upon her arrival. During the rebellion the lassie and her father are taken prisoners and thrown into a fort. Nana Sahib sees her there and takes her by force to his palace and makes her the favorite of his harem, much against her will. She, realizing the usefulness of fighting him, pretends to like him and therefore is given her way in the palace. While he is out with his men, by a ruse, makes her escape and informs her father and the English colonel of the plans of Nana Sahib and his men. They are able, with her information, to make some headway against the Sepoys, but she is again captured by Nana and taken back to his palace. When Campbell arrives to relieve Lucknow, with the lassie's sweetheart, who she had left in Scotland, Nana Sahib is taken prisoner, but escapes and returns to his palace to kill the lassie before her sweetheart can save her, but her sweetheart gets there before Nana and rescues her. Nana escapes, but is driven to the jungle, where he is left a prey to the wild beasts without food or drink. The lassie is reunited with her father and sweetheart and returns to Scotland with them, happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
