The sister wants her fortune told and Harry goes with her. While there, he meets the daughter of the Gypsy Queen. Love at first sight and many meetings follow. Harry's mother interrupts one of these meetings while passing by in her car, and Harry is ordered to get in and return home. He refuses, but when he does come home, his irate mother demands that he cease his flirtations with the gypsy. Harry assures her it is more serious. Sometime later, realizing that his mother's consent cannot be gained, Harry marries the girl without it. They are first married according to the custom of her people, a regular Gypsy wedding with the quaint and curious rites of her people, after which they are united by the Church and the State. Being still unable to gain his mother's forgiveness. Harry settles down in a cottage. A year later, a child comes to bless their union. On learning of the arrival of a grand-daughter, the proud old mother hastens to Harry's little cottage to clasp the little one to her breast. Years go by and all is happiness till one day the wife is out on her way to make some purchases. She is surprised to meet her Gypsy mother at the gate. The tribe was again in camp near the home. The mother is invited to see her grandchild, a girl of six. The presence of the Gypsy woman angers the over-sensitive husband, who has just come in. Then follows the first quarrel between man and wife. The wife begins to regretfully look back over the years of free life spent with her people, and she takes out the costumes she had worn at their first meeting. He enters, prepared to ask forgiveness, but indulgently retires rather than disturb her. Seated in the little parlor with his daughter on his knee, the young husband falls asleep. The wife returns, pensively takes her violin and softly plays a favorite melody of his. Then he dreams, the quarrel is re-enacted, his young wife returns to her people. He sees her take the child and he follows, arriving in time to separate her from his old rival, whom he engaged in mortal combat. They fight furiously and the rival suffers death. At this juncture the husband awakens, and finds his faithful little wife standing by, playing to him in dreamy attitude. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
