- Zora, a pretty little gypsy girl about six years old, strays from the camp and loses her way. She is found by Jack Darwin, a wealthy bachelor residing in the neighborhood, and taken to his home. Asking the little waif if she would like to live at his house, she claps her hands and winds her arms around his neck. This act of affection touches the bachelor's heart and he decides to adopt her. Fourteen years quickly pass by. In the meantime Darwin has learned to love Zora other than as an adopted daughter. One afternoon, while seated on a rustic bench on the lawn in front of her home, she is approached by Valno, a handsome young gypsy, and requested to purchase a basket. She declines to buy, although unconsciously attracted by the handsome face of the dark stranger. Valno asks Zora to visit the nearby gypsy camp and examine the many styles of baskets they have for sale. Zora accepts the invitation and later on calls at the camp. A few weeks later she begs Darwin to accompany her on a visit to the temporary home of the wanderers. At first he declines but later consents. Arriving at the camp, one of the gypsies requests permission to tell Zora's fortune. While being paid for her services the gypsy recognizes a birth-mark on Zora's arm and declares Zora to be her daughter. Explanations take place and Darwin tells how he found the little wanderer and took her to his home. Valno, who is a close observer of these proceedings, later on follows Zora to her home, where he intercepts her and begs her to return to her family and the roving gypsy life. Zora listens to the pleadings of her gypsy lover, and finally decides to accompany him. As they are about to leave Darwin meets them. Zora tells of her decision and despite her adopted father's pleadings she chooses the open road.—The Film Index synopsis
