A short romantic drama about a woman who is worshiped by both a lieutenant and a Russian diplomat; the latter wins, but later turns out to be a brute. A duel in the snow ensures that the lieutenant gets the woman, but both of them suffer from visions in which the deceased appears as soon as they try to get together.

"A great Vitagraph play. See the beautiful ball room scene. see the duel. "Between us forever lies this Red Barrier; until it is removed we cannot meet again," she declares."
