Dubbed “The Black Death” by those who fear him, Conrad Veidt is snatched from the hangman’s noose by the diabolical Cardinal Richelieu (Massey) and sent to arrest the Duc d’Foix, the leader of a political faction suspected of trying to overthrow the monarchy. The fly in the ointment is the appearance of the beautiful Annabella whom Veidt mistakes for the Duchess, and with whom he promptly falls in love.
