They plan the elopement and Mike brings his automobile to her door the next morning. As they are passing through the country they meet a band of gypsies. Pete, one of the gypsies, decides to steal the children. While Mike and Bridget are eating lunch they have a fight, and Mike deserts Bridget. Pete finds her crying and entices her to the gypsy camp. Mike wanders into camp and squares himself with Bridget by returning her puppy to her. An old gypsy woman sees trouble in the cards and warns Pete not to steal the children. He laughs at her fears, so she warns Mike and Bridget to run away. Pete sees the children running away and tries to catch them. While Mike is trying to defend Bridget, he falls over a high bank and is thought to be dead by Pete and following gypsies, who become panic-stricken and run away. Bridget returns and carries Mike to his home. When he regains consciousness, Bridget gives Mike her puppy as a reward for bravery, and they decide to wait until they are older before eloping again.
