剧情简介: Tatters holds court in a little rundown village at the mouth of the main shaft of the Tilson iron mines. The court consists of children of the miners. Tatters firmly believes that she is descended from royal blood, for had not "Crazy Anne" told her that her mother was a queen, and that her father was a king? In the days of prosperity Anne had been the maid of Tatters' mother, but all proof she had of Tatters' royal lineage was a trunkful of regal gowns, and a newspaper clipping. Old man Tilson was so busy with other matters that the little iron mine which bore his name interested him little, and the complaints and pleading of his manager, Tom Brennon, interested him still less. It was not until he received a frank letter from the village priest that he even condescended to send his secretary, Daniel Grant, to make the best terms possible with the men who had been incited by Lem Braxton to threaten a strike. Braxton was a sorehead, and had vowed to get even with the whole outfit for fancied wrongs. His first meeting with Grant resulted in a combat, and Grant was speedily added to Braxton's list of undesirables. In fact, he went after him first, and while Grant was fishing in an interval of work at a stream which had pointed out to him by Tatters, Braxton stole up behind him, and after a fight threw him over a cliff. Little Tatters found the secretary more dead than alive, and with Crazy Anne's help she brought him to her own little hovel and nursed him back to health. In the meantime, Grant's disappearance had alarmed Tilson, and ho had come on personally to search. Braxton soon found an opportunity to revenge himself upon Tilson and Brennon together by undermining the shack in which the iron mine's office was located, and allowing it to drop two hundred feet into the mine below. Just as he was about to pull this terrible trap, Tatters and Grant come up behind him, on their way to the office, and Tatters engaged the giant long enough for Grant to warn Tilson and Brennon of their danger. Though badly hurt she made her way to Anne's home, and Anne put her to bed. Tilson and Grant visit the hovel to thank the little girl for her brave deed, and what is Tilson's surprise to find on the little trunk over which Anne has erected a ridiculous throne, the word "Corinne." Like a flash his memory goes back to the actress wife with whom he had quarreled, and he rushes into the bedroom to unravel the gnawing tangle which his memory has conjured up. To his amazement he discovers in the little child a replica of Corinne Tilson, his wife, and he explains to the surprised priest and his secretary how it was possible for the little girl to think that she was of royal parentage. The newspaper clipping declares Corinne to be Queen of Bohemia, and Tilson, King of Finance.
