Dr. Allen, spending his vacation at a summer hotel, wanders into the woods and meets Robar. a gypsy girl. They become very friendly and the intimacy which arises incurs the jealousy of Romaine, a gypsy, who hastens to inform the chief of the band. The chief spies upon the couple and later punishes Robar by branding her on the forehead. By the brand, Robar will always be held in disgrace and must be the servant of the band. The doctor has arranged to elope with Robar and when she fails to appear, he steals to the camp and finds her sitting in the moonlight, suffering from the torture of the brand. He secretly conducts her to the hotel, where he discovers that he can remove the mark. Allen and Robar are married and go to the city. Romaine follows, and forcing his way into the doctor's house, demands the young woman by right of the brand. When Robar appears, Romaine finds to his amazement that the mark has disappeared. Several years later the doctor and his wife, with their little boy, visit the country. It happens that the same band of gypsies is camping nearby. The mother and child walk through the woods and stop at a spring, where the boy plays in the mud. In his play he makes upon his mother's brow a mark similar to the old brand. Two gypsies pass and discover the apparently branded woman. They force Robar to accompany them to the camp and she is about to be dealt with severely, when the husband arrives on the scene and convinces the gypsies of their mistake.
