Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mary, the daughter of the regiment, is a foundling picked up outside of the camp of a French regiment, and adopted by them. Sixteen years later Mary has grown to womanhood and is the general favorite of the camp. She is as devoted to each one of the grizzled warriors as they are to her, but one in particular, Tonio, she loves. Everything goes well until one day a great lady, the Countess of Hohenstein, appears, and claiming Mary as her long lost daughter, takes her to the castle. Mary does not prove a success in her new surroundings, however. Although everything possible is done for her education and refinement, she shows that her heart is still yearning for the beloved regiment. One day she hears that Tonio and the regiment are in the neighborhood, and she immediately seeks them out. The countess follows her, but concluding that Mary’s happiness is centered in the regiment, she finally gives her consent to her marriage with Tonio, to the great joy of all the soldiers.
