- General Coleman, his son and his nephew, were entertained at the luxurious mountain camp of Mme. Forresti. when one day, while on a mountain tramp, they came upon a gypsy camp just at the moment when Olive was entertaining her companions with the violin. Entranced with the fire of the girl's playing, Mme. Forresti insisted that the girl come to her camp that evening and play for her guests. At first, the gypsy girl refused, but finally relented and promised to come; this decision was particularly pleasing to Vance. That evening Laura Leslie, a young society woman, thoroughly infatuated with Vance Coleman, happened to intercept a glance passed between Olive and the young man. Her jealousy was immediately aroused to such an extent that when Olive appeared upon the scene she offered to loan her a dress more suitable to the occasion. This act delighted the vanity of the gypsy girl, but she soon found that the styles of to-day were not meant for her and instead of being made ridiculous in the eyes of the guests, as Laura had planned, she quickly transformed the binding skirt into a fascinating garment by the mere addition of a gypsy scarf, thus frustrating the plan of the young society woman to make her ridiculous in the eyes of Vance. Drew Martin, Vance's cousin, had overheard General Coleman dictating a new clause in his will to Judge Stone, who had arrived at the camp for this express purpose, and learning that he was to inherit the general fortune in the event of Vance's death, set about bringing things to a focus, as immediate funds were necessary to him. It was after the musicale that Laura Leslie suddenly came upon Vance and Olive on the moonlit terrace of the camp. Making an excuse to get rid of Vance, she set about sowing the seeds of discord by pointing out to Olive the difference in her and Vance's station in life. This so galled the gypsy girl that she fled from the camp. The following morning, as Vance took his canoe to row across the lake to find Olive, he suddenly discovered that the boat was leaking. Before he could reach shore the tiny craft sunk beneath his weight leaving him struggling in the water at the base of a cliff with no means at hand with which to save himself. Olive, from the heights above, suddenly discovered his predicament and ran to the gypsy encampment to summon help and to secure a rope. Throwing this to the struggling man she succeeded in rescuing him from drowning, and aided him to reach the top of the cliff where he fell exhausted, grateful to the gypsy madcap for her timely aid.
