Plot

As described in a film magazine review:

Peter Smith, writer for publisher T. B. Maynard, in love with latter's daughter Alice, is hectored by his employer because his stories lack thrills. A Maynard book, just published, Downfall of Grecovia, angers the representatives of that country. Peter meets with a slight accident which impels him to drink from a strange bottle, and forthwith he plunges head-first into a maze of wild, exciting adventures, is kidnapped by Grecovians, meets the lovely Princess Zola, escapes, and finally settles down with Alice to consider writing about his adventures.[2]
