A Romance

Adventure-loving aristocrat Lord Wheatley buys a small Greek island, but when he finally arrives at his Mediterranean idyll, he finds that the native inhabitants of the island are not willing to cede to his leadership. Instead, they prefer to be ruled by the beautiful Phroso, with whom Wheatley soon finds himself falling in love. But before the two can live happily ever after, Phroso vanishes — and Wheatley will move heaven and earth to guarantee her safe return.
