A Film That Is Extraordinary In Quality And Outweighs A Hundred Common Photoplays. The Story Is Laid In Some Wonderful Gardens, Over Which Is Poured The Crystal Flood Of California's Light. It Possesses One Charm All And Singularly Its Own.

The blind princess upon consulting the soothsayer is told that upon the first kiss of unselfish love she receives she will see. All the great lords assemble to pay her court and bestow kisses in hopes of restoring her sight. There are Lords Gold, Selfish, Folly, Presumption and their ilk, but their attentions are in vain. A poor poet has humbly loved the princess, but considers himself unworthy until the Child Equality argues differently. Lord Gold in rage kills the Child Equality and the poet loses hope. However, when the princess sleeps the poor poet steals a kiss. The princess sees, and through the poet's kiss. Lord Selfish would kill the poet, but he is thwarted by justice, as the poet goes singing to his apparent death. Justice takes him to the princess' side.
