- A nobleman deserts his secret gypsy wife. Later their child weds a gypsy.
- When Lord Laversham was a young man, he saved the life of a gypsy girl in an accident. The chance meeting made a deep impression on the young lord, and not long afterward Mona and Laversham were secretly married. A year later, Mona appeared at Knole Hall with a baby in her arms. Laversham accepted the little girl as his heir, and took her away from her mother. Mona went back to her gypsy caravan, and little Helen was given the training and education that befitted the heiress of the Knole estate. When Helen had grown to be a girl of eighteen, she went riding with her father one day, and happened upon a gypsy encampment. A mutual recognition followed between Laversham and the old fortune teller who had once been the beautiful Mona. Two days later, Laversham was fatally injured in a riding accident. On his deathbed, he made Helen promise to marry the man of her choice, Captain Ronald Courtney, without delay. While she was still mourning for her father, Helen's mother appeared at Knole Hall and discovered herself to her daughter. Urged by filial respect and also by the strain of wild gypsy blood which was in her, Helen followed Mona to the gypsy camp. For the refined, highly cultured girl, the sordidness of the life appeared in all its repulsiveness as soon as the first glamour had worn away. A handsome young scoundrel named Ben, resplendent in earrings and gay scarves, made her life miserable with his continual overtures. When Captain Courtney finally discovered her whereabouts, he found a girl who had bitterly repented of her sudden freakish whim, and who was only too glad to return to the life she had always known. So Helen and Courtney were married, while Mona, scorning alike their offers of money and a home, tramped along the dusty brown roads which are the heritage of the Romany race.—Moving Picture World synopsis
