It is the morning of a terrible storm off a lonely island. A baby girl has been washed ashore and is adopted by an island couple. Grown to womanhood, there comes a stranger who tells her she is the daughter of kings, that she has a palace and wealth awaiting her. Felix, her lover, is forgotten as she makes plans to go to her throne. But - she has reckoned without the cupidity of the stranger. He plans to get rid of the princess and have the throne to himself. His accomplices lure her aboard their boat, tie her in a sack and dump her overboard. Felix, however, is a stowaway, and manages to get her to shore. The stranger again comes upon them. He is bested in the fight and Belinda is taken away. She is tied in an abandoned cabin and the place set afire. Felix tries to put the fire out, but before he can succeed, is made a captive by the plotters. Felix's dog comes to the rescue and frees Felix who is amazed to find the cabin. Nothing daunted, he digs in the embers and finds her unharmed. She is still the "Queen" and instead of winning commendation, he gets nothing but abuse. Trying to explain, he follows her back to the village where they come upon the stranger explaining that a mistake has been made, that he is the King. The "King" spies Belinda and she is once more set upon, but this time Felix defends her valiantly. The fight is interrupted by the arrival of a couple of guards from a nearby asylum. They take Napoleon away with them, explaining to Belinda that his mania seems to be thrones. Belinda is the laughing stock on account of the airs she put on. But Felix gets on the job and once more they are happily reunited.
