Margery Winters sees a wrestling bout in which the “Masked Wrestler” is the victor. She is wild with enthusiasm and longs to meet the wonderful athlete, whose face she has never seen. She goes to Louis, a suitor, thinking that possibly he can arrange an introduction for her. He suggests that she invite the “Masked Wrestler” to her reception the following week. She does so and the wrestler appears, but does not remove his mask. M. Lefevre, a scheming suitor for the hand of Margery, sees that she is more than interested in this mysterious stranger, and offers him an insult which results in a duel. The “Masked Wrestler” is the winner, but Lefevre swears revenge. Shortly afterward the mysterious athlete is to wrestle for the championship of France. Lefevre offers his opponent money to unmask his rival before the crowd. The “Masked Wrestler” hears of this and it makes him all the more determined to win. He administers a stinging defeat to the champion and while Margery is still wild with excitement, takes off his mask. Her heart all but stops beating, she is so overjoyed at seeing that Louis and the “Masked Wrestler” are the same person. That evening Louis realizes that winning the championship is a great honor, but winning the girl he loves is by far a greater joy.
