The Archduke Rodolphe d'Illyrie is secretly united to Countess Sarah MacGregor and they have a daughter together. The young woman learns that her father-in-law is plotting to have the marriage annulled so she writes her brother to ask him to get rid of the old man. When her letter is intercepted, she leaves her child in the care of farmers near Paris and escapes to America. The Archduke learns of the whereabouts of his daughter but finds the house has been destroyed by arson and assumes that she died. He sets out to find his daughter's murderers and meets the evil schoolmaster and his friend la Chouette. They actually hide the child they call Fleur de Marie, and force her to beg for their profit.
