The type of magic illusion movies with which Segundo De Chomon had competed with Georges Melies for so long had run their course by 1912. But while Melies found it impossible to adapt, De Chomon saw ways to incorporate the fantastic elements of his work into more straightforward narratives. Here, a peasant girl imagines the revenge a gypsy might wreak on her boyfriend after an altercation, and her fantasy grows increasingly bizarre as the plot develops. The story is engaging, and the early colour process surprisingly good.
