The Vagabonds (1912)

The wanderers, Big Jim, his sweetheart Nell and Nell's grandfather, the fiddler, are much disturbed over a quarrel between Big Jim and Nell. Big Jim in a burst of temper rushes away. Tom and his sweetheart, Jane, are soon to be married. Tom shows Jane his savings. While walking along the road, Tom and Jane pass the old fiddler and his granddaughter. Seeing that Tom is rather observant of her charms. Nell cannot restrain the temptation to flirt, and she waves her hand to him. Later on, Tom returns to the camp of the vagabonds and becomes much enraptured by the coquettish ways of the girl wanderer. Tom is so beguiled by the dancer that he leaves his sweetheart and follows the girl. Big Jim, who has gotten over his fit of anger, returning to camp, asks for an explanation of Tom's presence. Nell makes light of Tom and shows very plainly her heart is in the sole keeping of Big Jim. Tom clearly realizes his position and forces Nell to make a declaration, the results of which so astound the infatuated Tom that he apparently loses all reason and, wandering from the camp of the vagabonds, he roams over the fields all night. The next morning Jane finds him and, womanlike, forgives her recreant lover and they start life anew.
