Another early Russian film by Vasily Goncharov on Mazeppa, hetman of Ukraine, The film tells about the Hetman named Mazepa, who is in love with Kochubey's daughter, Maria, and asks her father for consent to marry her, but his father refuses him. This does not stop them and they run away. This is probably based on a poem by Lord Byron.
