Diplomacy Synopsis

At Deauville, an informal conference of diplomatic powers is attended by: Julian Weymouth and his brother Sir Henry, of the British Diplomatic Service; Count Orloff, a young Russian royalist; the Marquise de Zares and her daughter, Dora; and Countess Zicka, who sells political secrets to Baron Ballin, reputedly an agent of the Bolshevik Government. Count Orloff, believing that Dora has been responsible for his arrest in Russia, hastens to warn his friends at the British Embassy, unaware that Julian and Dora, who have just been married, are leaving for London with a treaty from the Chinese delegation. Julian's trust in Dora is shattered when the document is stolen. Julian and Sir Henry make a desperate effort to regain the lost treaty, addressed in Dora's handwriting to Ballin. With the aid of Robert Lowry, an American, Zicka is tricked into admitting her guilt. Julian and Dora renew their vows of love.

Freckles Synopsis

Little one-armed waif Freckles (Jack Pickford), who lives at the orphanage, has no remembrance of his parents. The object of other children's jokes, he finally runs away and after many struggles he meets lumber-camp boss John McLean, who admires the boy's spunk and selects him to be the watchman of Limberlost, a valuable timber swamp. There Freckles meets Angel (Louise Huff), who is spending the summer with the Bird Woman, an enthusiastic naturalist. Angel falls in love with Freckles, but he believes that her feelings for him spring from pity. While they are in the swamp one day, a huge tree topples, endangering Angel's life. Freckles throws himself in the path of the tree, which falls across his chest. Thinking that he is just a waif and therefore unworthy of Angel's love, Freckles does not care to live. As he lies near death, his English grandfather dies, leaving a portion of his estate to his grandson. Solicitors finally trace the lost child to Freckles in the hospital. The news of the good fortune is told to Angel, who goes to tell the dying boy. The realization that he is now on the same social level with Angel brings back his dwindling life, and the two face a happy life together.
