Faced with revolution, Queen Alexandria (Mady Christians) abdicates and scurries towards the border. En route, she makes the acquaintance of handsome rebel leader Feodor Karew (Gustav Diesel). Failing to recognize Alexandria as a member of the hated royalty, Feodor falls in love with her. She reciprocates, eventually rescuing Feodor from execution when the revolution falls apart. Once restored to her throne, Alexandria renounces it again, all for the sake of her beloved Theodor. In case there's any doubt, the title translates as Lieutenant, Were You a Hussar? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
