The Eagle

Czarina Catherine the Great is attracted to Vladimir, a Russian soldier. When Vladimir rejects her, he makes a powerful enemy. The soldier is forced to go on the lam, but when he is gone, his father's property is snatched away by Troekouroff, a cruel aristocrat who bullies peasants. Vladimir disguises himself as a bandit and begins to defend the Russian people from Troekouroff, whose daughter, Mascha, he is in love with.
