In this story a little plant springs up between the stones in a prison yard. It is tenderly cared for by de Charney, a nobleman who is a political prisoner. When he fell ill a tea made from its leaves cured him. A petition to Napoleon regarding the plant brought the emperor, in person, directing that the plant be spared, and ultimately securing for this prisoner and one other a pardon. A tender love story is interwoven, supplying heart interest and ending in the girl, a daughter of one of the prisoners, marrying de Charney. The details are worked out with care, and the sentiment expressed is unusually tender. The story grips from beginning to end. - The Moving Picture World, May 13, 1911
