      Synopsis


      The widowed Queen of Silistrie and her young son Prince Sacha lives in impoverished exile in Paris after a revolution in their home country. She scrapes by financially by awarding her various creditors essentially worthless honours and titles. Her son a student, has developed anarchistic ideas and has little interest in monarchy. However the financier Chautard wishes to get his hands on the exclusive rights to the country's large oil reserves. He comes up with the idea of restoring Sacha to his family's lost throne, and hires a man to give the young man "the education of a prince".
