During a state visit, King Carl of Monclair pulls the orphan Jessica from danger and sacrifices every memory of his throne. He awakens with no past, spending twenty years as a destitute laborer who raises the girl in obscurity while his kingdom searches vainly for its missing ruler.
Jessica reaches adulthood unaware of her guardian's royal origin. When a prince proposes, she casts aside the penniless man who fed her to chase a palace life. The revelation strikes only after her rejection: the father she disowned is the sovereign the realm has lost.
