SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, April 17, 1915:

"There are a great many things in his courtship of Bianca Wells which young Jarvis is at a loss to understand. Particularly is he mystified as regards the identity of a certain Count Berdeau, who is constantly at the Wells' home. He has his suspicions, however. And this explains why the Count is forcibly snatched away from a ballroom, where he is innocently enjoying himself, and marched before a magistrate to whom he is obliged to give written evidence that he is a gentleman in order to escape being sent to jail as a fugitive criminal. The Count and Bianca's father really are putting over a business deal - but this Jarvis does not learn until much later. Meanwhile the fascinating Bianca is hugely relishing the joke. And in the end Jarvis wins what he is after."

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, May 1, 1915:

"A two-reel offering featuring Florence LaBadie, Morris Foster and others. The girl becomes enamored of a French count and turns down her own lover to go with him to a charity ball. The lover meets her there. The count is mistaken for an embezzler but turns out to be a genuine nobleman. He afterwards assists in righting the wrong he has done and helps bring the lovers together again. The story is not exceptional in any way, but runs along entertainingly and makes all together quite a pleasing offering."
