Pardena dislikes the man and informs the father of his attentions. Later, when Espan asks Romano for his daughter's hand, the Gypsy chief knocks him down. Filled with rage, Espan crawls away. The following day Romano stops to watch a game of cards. The leader finally sits in on the game. Espan stacks the cards and wins Romano's money. Stung by his losses, the chief wages his horses, but again loses. In desperation, Romano offers to wager Pardena against the money and horses Espan has won. The latter agrees. Romano discovers that he has been cheated. He springs upon Espan and the two engage in a knife duel. The chief is slain. The victor immediately goes to Romano's wagon to claim Pardena, but the girl has disappeared. While the game is in progress, the girl makes her way from the camp. Before long, Pardena becomes bewildered. Light Cloud, a young Indian chief, comes to her rescue and guides her back to the camping ground. There the two find the body of Romano. The Gypsies have disappeared. Light Cloud has lost his heart to Pardena. He urges her to make her home with his people. The girl becomes his squaw. The tribe, however, regard her with hatred. Later, when the hunters return empty-handed, they declare that Pardena is possessed of an evil spirit and demand that she leave the village. Unable to alter the determination of his people, Light Cloud renounces his chieftainship and takes his place by Pardena's side. Turning his back upon all tribal ties. Light Cloud walks from the camp with his Gypsy squaw. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
