John Neville visits the gipsy camp to secure entertainers for his lawn party the following day. Fantasca, the young and pretty gipsy queen, while performing for the entertainment, falls in love with Neville. When the lawn party is over the returning gipsies try to lead away Neville's little girl, but one of the servants frustrates their plans. While making a short cut through the woods the next day, Neville meets Fantasca, who informs him of her love and is repulsed. Later the gipsies move to a new camp, but before leaving, a plot is arranged to kidnap Neville's child and the plan is successful. Although Fantasca's love is unrequited, she realizes the pain the loss of the child will cause Neville and she determines to return the child to its parents. That night she leaves the camp with the child while all the rest are asleep. Her departure is detected and a gipsy fires after her. Although dangerously wounded, she succeeds in reaching Neville's home and expires after delivering the child to the distracted parents.
