Plot

[edit]

When young Heiress Hermione Blakiston discovers that the count she was engaged to is a fortune-hunting imposter, she runs away. Concussion to the head during a street brawl leaves Hermione with amnesia, but she is rescued and taken in by street vendors Flatiron and Mario. When the count appears on the scene once more and tricks Hermione into going to Paris with him, her new friends follow and rescue her again.
