A female ‘gypsy’ – in the parlance of the time – must choose between helping her own camp or a kidnapped girl. The woman once fell in love with the local count. However, without hesitation, the count left her heartbroken for a rich aristocratic girl who seduced him. Years later, the count refuses to pay alms to the gypsy camp, so a couple of desperate gypsies decide to kidnap his five-year-old daughter. The scorned woman recognises her old beloved count in the child’s face and decides to do the right thing.
The film has English intertitles.
One of the ‘gypsies’ is played by Carl Schenstrøm, who is probably best known for his role as Pat in the comic pair ‘Pat & Patachon’. Schenstrøm mostly played comedic roles, often in collaboration with director Lau Lauritzen Sr. During his career, he had almost 200 film roles.
