Prince Udo von Freundsberg leads a carefree and irresponsible life in the company of false friends and the beautiful Countess Irma, but in reality he is deeply in debt. At his seaside home, he meets the innocent Flora, daughter of a gardener. She is deeply in love with the prince, prompting a battle between the forces of light and dark inside the prince. Can Udo escape Irma’s seductive clutches? And how is he to reclaim his ancestral possessions, lured away from him by false friends? With the help of faithful supporters and Flora, Udo sets out for the place where his family’s treasure lies buried: on the Isle of the Dead.
