Aldwych farce involving, Polotski (Andrews Engelmann), a sinister Russian who, years ago, had been married to a French woman, Louise. Believing him to be dead, she has become the wife of Sir Duncan Cragg (Tom Walls), a prominent social figure. Polotski, realising this, decides to use his prior knowledge of her to his advantage. One evening when her husband is away with another woman, Polotski kidnaps her.

Determined to fight back, Sir Duncan sets out to destroy Polotski and his evil empire.
