The Count discovers that Baron Von Neuhoff is to be executed, so he plays the part of a foolish internationaI banker as he was previousIy asked for a Iarge Ioan of French Francs by Gurko. Then, he overhears Gurdo meeting with the French Ambassador (George Renavent) who raises the question of human rights in the Grand Duchy.

Gurko schemes to gain the nation's Ioyalty by marrying the Grand Duchess and keeping his pact with Russia a secret.
