1855 – Badly wounded, the Russian Count Mikhail Diebitsch-Zabalkansky narrowly escapes the wrath of the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievich, after chopping off the grand duke's right hand in self defense.
Aboard a clipper ship bound for San Francisco, two peasants, a Chinese doctor, Chiang Po, and his young daughter, Chiang SuLin, save Mikhail's life.
Shorly after arriving on the Barbary Coast, Mikhail is bludgeoned and robbed of his money. All that remains is the birthday gift from his Russian uncle, a valuable mink coat and cap.
Barely conscious, Mikhail stumbles into Tommy Chandler's Boardinghouse and is given a bed. If he cannot pay the rent, the law allows for his bill to be paid by sea captains, and to be forced to serve as a common sailor.
But no, Mikhail is highly educated and will find employment. He soon learns that his European education and nobility mean nothing in this goldrush frontier.
In an argument over past due rent, Tommy Chandler, middleweight boxing champion, fights Mikhail, believes him to be dead, and dumps him into the stinking sludge under the docks.
Mikhail climbs out of the brine and finds the White Chapel Saloon, a boardinghouse owned by the kindhearted widow, Molly O'Brian.
Being nursed back to health, treating everybody as if they were peasants, he realizes the pomposity of his attitude and begins to change.
Through a series of exciting, historic events, he changes to a man who dedicates his life to serving others. The history and historic characters are as real and authentic as rigorous research can make them. What an exciting time this was.
