In Siberia at the time of the revolution, the Countess Tatiana (Barbara Bedford) promises Sergei (Lon Chaney), a hungry peasant, food, a job and her friendship if he will guide her safely to Novokursk. Sergei, although forced to undergo torture at the hands of the Bolsheviks, accomplishes his task and is awarded a menial job in the kitchen as compensation. Eventually, he falls under revolutionary influences and comes to hate the aristocracy.
