His wife, dying, writes him a letter urging him to make their little child a great lady. With this purpose in view, he arranges with Torpete, a gypsy, to abduct the daughter of the Grand Duke. He takes the coat, hat and locket belinginto to the little Princess and sends his own child away. During the abduction of the little Princess she is wounded on the shoulder by a bullet. Fifteen years later Von Herbeck tells the Grand Duke that he has found the Princess, and produces the locket and coat in proof of the identity of the child. Meanwhile, the real Princess, after being abandoned by the gypsies, has been adopted by peasants and has grown up as a "Goose Girl." At the same period, the young King Frederick of Jugendheit is officially betrothed to the Princess of Ehrenstein but does not wish to marry a woman he has never seen, or to put diplomatic necessity above love.
