Prascovia, a beautiful Russian girl, is living alone with her father. One day, the old man is arrested by the Russian Police. All of her pleas are in vain; her father is carried off and put to hard labor. One day, as she is walking, she passes the Governor of the Province, his aide and his young son. The latter, while romping about falls down a steep embankment, and is rendered unconscious. Prascovia courageously descends the dangerous declivity and rescues the inanimate boy. The Governor offers, as a token of his gratitude, to grant her any request. Of course she asks for the release of her father. She obtains the Governor’s pardon and hastens to the penitentiary. Her father is released and all ends well.
