The brooding Lord Bernard MacCullough spends all of his time in his decrepit castle, trying to figure out who it was who betrayed his father to his political enemies. To prevent interruption by pesky villagers, Bernard perpetrates a rumor that he is, in fact, a dragon. The gullible villagers respond by sacrificing a virgin, beautiful young Gwendolyn, to Bernard. They tie her up and leave her near the castle to be eaten. When Bernard finds her, he realizes he must keep her captive, lest the villagers discover the truth about his ruse. Romance soon blossoms, of course.
