Plot

Princess Maleen and her childhood friend, Landgrave Konrad, have fallen in love. They ask for her father, Prince Theodor,'s permission to marry. Her father refuses, and insists that she marry one of his sinister courtiers, Baron Raimund. Princess Maleen refuses and, as punishment, is locked up in a tower for seven years. She frees herself after seven years to find that her father has died and his principality is in ruin. She travels to the county ruled by Konrad. Konrad, who believed Princess Maleen had died, is betrothed to marry Walpurga of Schwarztal. Walpurga, who only wants to marry Konrad to ensure that her inheritance does not go to her brother, plans to poison Konrad after the wedding. Maleen, searching for a new life, unknowingly begins working as a maid in Konrad's household. Walpurga, captivated by her social grace and beauty, bribes her into standing in for her at the wedding, but wearing a veil so that Konrad does not know it is not Walpurga. The plot fails and Walpurga is sent away. Konrad and Maleen are reunited.
