Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, is the exiled king of England living incognito in Holland. He falls in love with a flower girl at a market and goes to work for her at her farm. He is found out by the dreaded "roundheads" from England, lead by the always menacing Henry Daniell. They have an exciting chase and duel involving windmills that would make Hitchcock proud. However, far too much of the film is concerned with the romance between Fairbanks and his women, including an appearance by Maria Montez as a royal French flame from his past.
