Gypsy Joe (1916)
Jackson, having joined a band of gypsies, is sent by his chief, de la Parelle, to steal a child whom the chief knows to be an heiress. A letter has been received stating that the girl is being sent to a scheming squire, Morrison, and Joe goes to the squire's home. Before he arrives, however, Morrison has departed with the child, desiring to be rid of her and intending to turn her over to the gypsies. Back in the camp there is much excitement. The Princess Dora and Joe are in love but their affair is complicated by the jealousy of the chief's aid, Hamilton. The result is a duel with knives and pitchforks, which is interrupted by the approach of a posse seeking to recover the child. Betty hides in a wagon which is set on fire by the overturning of an oil stove. She flees to a water barrel, which is lassoed from the back of the wagon by a gypsy. As the gypsies flee over a bridge they dynamite it to prevent further pursuit. Their wagon then comes too close to a cliff and goes over. Squire Morrison, in a cask, follows, but luckily drops into the ocean and is washed ashore unharmed. Thrills are piled upon thrills, with the usual happy result. The gypsy lovers are reunited and little Betty comes into her own.
