Synopsis
When Mayme Ladd, a shopgirl whose mother was a Spanish dancer, is told by a fortune-teller that she is the reincarnation of a nobel Spanish maiden, Rosa Alvaro, her imagination runs wild. Falling in love with Dr. Drew, one of her customers, Mayme encounters him again at a masked ball held on a yacht. Mayme, attired as a Spanish dancer, is forced to depart abruptly when a row develops over her, and rather than reveal her identity, she discards her costume and swims ashore. Upon discovering her clothes, the doctor believes that the mysterious dancer has drowned. However, Mayme safely swims to shore and, after faking an accident, demands that her rescuers take her to Dr. Drew's office. Discovering that he has kept her dancer's costume, Mayme dons the dress, and when Dr. Drew enters to examine his patient, he is delighted to find that his Spanish charmer is alive and well.
