When Olive and Madame Forresti arrive, the place is locked and Olive climbs through the window and unlocks the door. There is a note from the caretaker to the effect that there is illness in the family and she must go home. Madame Forresti is suspicious, but Olive ridicules her fear. Vance and Olive join the many skaters at the lake, and as Madame Forresti sits at the campfire at the lake's edge, she sees gypsy Franz Belli, is startled, then laughs hysterically. Vance leaves and Olive and Madame Forresti go into the bungalow and prepare to retire. They are sitting before the brisk fire, and Madame Forresti tells Olive of her childhood, remarking that when she was a farmer's daughter she married a romantic gypsy named Franz Belli and they had a daughter. At this juncture Madame Forresti shows Olive a locket, and Olive recognizes the image in it as that of her father. Madame Forresti thereupon takes Olive in her arms, and mother and child are reunited. A noise is heard and Olive insists upon investigating, but is restrained. Madame Forresti goes downstairs and as she approaches a screen it moves. Quickly pushing the screen aside, she sees the form of Delli crouching. He utters a few revengeful words and attacks her. Olive hears the tussle and proceeds to the scene of the battle with a shot gun. She fires and misses, but Delli is frightened and escapes. Olive is restrained from shooting further by Madame Forresti, who tells her that the intruder is her father. Vance arrives at the bungalow the following morning and shows a newspaper with a story telling of the discovery of the body of a gypsy floating in the lake. The final scene shows the interior of a church, and the principals are Vance and Olive, who are made husband and wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
