Plot
As described in a film magazine,[5] while in Constantinople, Bob Van Buren comes to the rescue when Demetra, a upper-class young Turkish woman, and her duenna are waylaid by robbers, which paves the way for romance between them. This is opposed by her father and Osman, the fiancée her father is attempting to force on her. With the thought of such a highly educated, gifted with the needle, and graceful dancer ending up in a harem instead of a respectful home driving him to desperation, Bob convinces her to elope with him to New York City. Finding out the scheme, Osman has ruffians grab Bob on their eve of departure. With her American vanished, and the day of her odious wedding to Osman approaching, Demetra flees with her duenna on the same boat that passage had been reserved, intending to reach a cousin in New York City. Osman pursues her, and traps her in New York City. He summons a Turkish priest but Bob, having escaped from a dungeon in Constantinople, arrives in time to save Demetra and take her to his mother's home. When Mrs. Van Buren suggests the lovers wait until September to be wed, they instead have their hearts set on a June wedding, it being June.
