When a young girl refuses to give her some oil, a spiteful gypsy decides to take revenge against her by seducing her fiancé, whom she arranges to meet on an island.  By moving the markers that indicate a safe passage across a stretch of water, the gypsy plans to drown the young girl, but fortunately she is saved by a passer-by and her fiancé returns to her.
