Foster is told to feign infatuation with her, but the lines between reality and pretence soon blur as a result of his growing affection for the baroness. Before long, Foster becomes prey to the insane jealousy of the tyrannical Marshal von Strom: Foster suddenly disappears and the baroness is charged with treason – the punishment for which is death. Can Wallace use his cunning to foil von Strom’s treacherous plans and rescue the distressed lovers before it’s too late?
