Zeuita and Richard fall in love, he proposes and she accepts him- Dureseign’s forces surround General Lawrence’s army, and the General sends his son in an aeroplane for reinforcements. Count Zurich flies to the enemy’s camp and traitorously arranges to bombard General Lawrence’s ramparts by aeroplane, for which Prince Dureseign is to deliver Zenita into his hand alter defeating the General’s army. Richard when returning sees what the Count is preparing to do, charged full speed into the Count’s machine. The Count is killed .while Richard is injured and Zenia disguises and goes to the enemy’s hospital to nurse him. She is captured and ordered to be shot as a spy.
