The Crimson Runner Synopsis

In Vienna after the war, Professor Schreber and his daughter, Bianca, are reduced to poverty. Gregory, the janitor of the apartment house in which they live, assaults the girl, and her father sets fire to the building in order to preserve his daughter's honor, himself dying in the flames. Bianca escapes from the burning building and devotes herself to avenging the rich, from whom she, disguised as the Crimson Runner, and her band of daredevil thieves continually steal. Among those who suffer from the gang's depredation is the handsome Count Meinhard, a gallant nobleman who later shields Bianca from the police when she take refuge in his apartment. Meinhard falls in love with the lovely thief, and she eventually comes to return his affection. Under the assumed name of Krutz, Gregory has been elevated from janitor to chief of police; he falls into Bianca's power, and Meinhard kills him in a duel. Bianca is later pardoned for her crimes, and she and Meinhard find happiness in the halls of royalty.
