Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is the title character, a young king exiled by evil
conspirators. Forced to live far from his homeland, Fairbanks is harassed
by the wicked Henry Daniell, who has been appointed to keep the young
monarch from reclaiming his throne. After falling in love with commoner
Paula Croset (later billed as Mara Corday), Fairbanks decides to take on
the corrupt elements that have ousted him, and he dispatches Daniell in
an exciting sword duel stage in an old windmill. Many of Fairbanks' more
dangerous stunts were handled by David Sharpe, who received credit as
second-unit director. Filmed in black and white, The Exile was originally
released to theatres in "Sepiatone", a process which enhanced the film
stock with a light brown tint.
