Romany Rob's Revenge (1910)
A mother and her two children, a son and daughter, are enjoying the pleasures derived from porch and lawn. Hilda's sweetheart, a military captain, enters and is bidden to get a spade, and join the son in fixing the garden. While he is fulfilling the mission, the family is approached by a brawny gypsy, who asks alms, and when refused becomes violent. The Captain sees him and finally succeeds in making the gypsy go, not without gaining the latter's hatred, however. He awaits an opportunity, when the others have entered the house and the young child is playing outside, to carry him off. To mislead any followers, he takes off the boy's shoes and stockings, puts them on a river bank and throws his cap in the water. A country boy has watched these proceedings and later, when the boy is being looked for, tells the Captain of the subterfuge. The gypsy takes the boy to his camp and puts him in a tent. The Captain and country youth have followed to watch, then the Captain leaves. He goes to his quarters, explains to the soldiers, who offer their aid, and then dons a gypsy disguise. When in this garb he enters the camp and displays a bottle, he is welcomed. They all go to their tents but the Captain, who finally locates the boy's hiding place. The child creeps out, is startled by the gypsy, when the Captain makes himself known. The boy crawls into his arms and thus are they found by the gypsies who surround them. The Captain signals to his soldiers, who dash on and level guns at the others, while the boy and his rescuer depart. The Captain with his charge returns to the cottage. He delivers up the boy and is ordered off the premises, when he removes his disguise and all are again happy.
