A robber chieftain who happens along is much enamored of Mary and buys her from her stepmother with a bag of gold. Then the girl disappears. The fact is, she has been transported to fairyland by way of the well, where she is closely observed by wise old fairy Mother Hulda, who decides that Mary is just the wife for Prince Charming. The Prince loves Mary and they are betrothed, but Mary longs to let her stepmother know that she is still alive, and this is granted. The Widow Boden treats her cruelly, and this time she is handed over to the robber chieftain. Martha, meanwhile, has put on Mary's clothes and come to fairyland. But Mother Hulda discovers her deception in time to prevent her from marrying the Prince. Mary calls on her fairy lover for aid by means of a locket he has given her. He arrives, turns the trees into soldiers, and defeats the robber chieftain. Mother Hulda finishes up matters by changing Widow Boden and Martha into stone. Then the Prince and Mary return to fairyland where they reign together happily forever after. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
