- The story is laid in Palestine, sixty years after the destruction of the last temple by Titus. The lot of the Jews was not a happy one during the succeeding reigns, but they were a fairly contented people until Hadrian ascended the throne. It is at this point that the opening scene of the picture begins, and leads the spectator back to the magnificent scenery of the Holy Land. It pictures Hadrian who decrees that Jerusalem be rebuilt as a Roman city. The temple is turned into an arena, where lions are roaring over the prey that is cast them, and bloody gladiatorial contests are presented. The oppression now becomes so terrible that the people can bear it no longer, and the vigorous younger party, under the leadership of Bar-Kochba, the noblest of the Jews, begins to sow the seeds of rebellion throughout the land. Now a flowery garden is presented to the sight, and the Oriental tribes that collect there to crown Bar-Kochba in secret are to offer their lives for the sake of a common cause. But it is through Paphos, a Phoenician cripple, disappointed in his mad passion for Dinah. Bar-Kochba's beloved, that destruction descends upon everyone. With his insidious plots, he works upon Rufus to such an extent that he casts Dinah into a cell after accusing her father, Eleazar, the leader of the Council of Elders, of inciting the rebellion. Not content with all this mischief, Paphos informs Bar-Kochba of Dinah's imprisonment Bar-Kochba hastens to the rescue and is seen just after the first chariot race entering the great arena, where a multitude of Romans are celebrating the downfall of Jerusalem. He defies Rufus and demands that Dinah be set free. Rufus commands Horatius to slay him. Defenseless as he is. Bar-Kochba sweeps him aside with one thrust of his mighty arm, but spares his life. Rufus now orders him cast to the lions. Bar-Kochba advances upon the raging beasts, quells them with his glance, and drives them into the crowned seats. Terrified, the Romans fly from the arena. Bar-Kochba has been successful all along the line, and has driven the Romans into Magdala. Within the fortress Paphos makes a final effort to win Dinah, is repulsed again, and determines to cause her death. He watches Rufus staggering drunkenly into a cell. Dinah lures him, and is about to dispatch him when his wife, summoned by Paphos, saves him. A messenger excitedly announces that the Jews are attacking the town. On the advice of Paphos, Dinah is exposed on the battlements and threatened with death unless Bar-Kochba withdraws his army. Bar-Kochba is before the walls of Magdala. Dinah appears on the tower, but rather than hinder her people, dashes herself to pieces on the rocks below. Infuriated by the death of Dinah, the Jews storm the town and set it on fire. The enemy perish in the ruins. Three years of bloody warfare have swept the Romans from the land. Bar-Kochba, king of Judea, welcomes all the people to his realm, irrespective of race, creed or color. He would have kept the Romans at bay. In spite of the fact that Hadrian sent his best generals and the pick of his legionaries against him, were it not for the despicable treachery of Paphos, the Phoenician. Bar-Kochba trusts him blindly, and believes his accusation that Eleazar had surrendered Dinah to the Romans. Maddened by the terrible misfortunes that had befallen him, Bar-Kochba calls Eleazar traitor before the Elders and plunges a dagger into his breast. Just then news comes that the war has recommenced, and Bar-Kochba hastens to defend the frontier. But Bar-Kochba is beaten everywhere and driven into Bethar. Hope flickers for a moment, but Paphos commits his most stupendous piece of treachery. He leads the Romans by a secret passageway into the fortress, and the Jewish cause is lost. Bar-Kochba fights his way through the enemies' lines and tries to lead his reserves to the attack. But seeing all his efforts useless, he falls on his sword as Eleazar's spirit towers above him.
