STORY

Gretchen Carr, in love with Frank Conway, decides not to marry him until she can see her artist brother, George Carr, himself happily married . Carr is attracted to unsuitable young ladies so Conway arranges for his pretty niece to pose as a member of a gypsy band. Conway takes Carr to the camp on the assurance that there he will find good material for his art. Carr paints the portrait of the supposed daughter of the chief and when finished he realizes that he is in love with the model. In a surprise raid, the gypsy band is arrested. Carr furnishes bail for the chief’s daughter but to his surprise finds that she is not the same as the model. That evening Conway visits Carr and introduces his niece. Carr discovers her to be the lovely pretend gypsy. Both couples agree to make plans for a double wedding.
