An Indian Prince marries an American girl. On his wife's death he sends their little daughter, the Princess Marsari, to America to be educated. Some years later, the Prince joins her there, and tries to make his child's choice of country his own. Marsari falls in love with a young American portrait artist. When Paul Leighton is accused of the murder of his wealthy uncle, whose will is found to leave his estate to the nephew, the young Princess is the only person who believes in his innocence. One point, especially weighs with her. The victim's body, on its discovery, was stone cold. Yet the man had not lain long dead. The Princess sets her wits to work and gradually traces the crime to a half-crazed painter, who has used liquid air to kill Leighton's uncle. The fearless girl entraps him, forces from him a confession, and is about to give him up to justice when he meets with a still stranger death than did his victim. The Indian Prince recognizes in all these happenings "kismet," and the Princess Marsari and Paul Leighton are married.
