John Page, living near Jamestown, is married and has a beautiful daughter named Mary. Indians attack the cabin of Page and kill him and his wife. They then set fire to the cabin and carry Mary off in captivity. Mary escapes in a canoe and makes her way down to Jamestown. She is adopted by John Durkin, but in reality is made a servant. Living in the colony is a Lady of Mystery. None of the colony knows her history. She is, however, a lady of royal family who has been forced to leave the continent. She is taken ill with fever and everyone refuses to nurse her. Mary visits her and she becomes very much attached to the girl. A big masquerade ball is given in honor of the new governor. Mary has helped the Durkin girls dress and secretly envies their fine clothes. Mary goes to visit the Mystery Lady later in the evening. As she sits beside the bed she thinks of the ball. Noticing her sad mien the Lady of Mystery questions her. Mary tells her of the ball. The Mystery Lady tells her to go to the old chest, get the gown and jewels there and don them. She does as bid and goes to the ball, where she is courted by all the gentlemen, and the governor in particular. At midnight Mary makes her escape before the unmasking, leaving part of her fan. The next day the governor searches for the other part of the fan and the owner, but fails. He later receives word from England to arrest the Lady of Mystery. In her cabin he finds Mary, who has dressed in the ball gown again to please the Mystery Lady. The old lady dies and Mary is taken "captive" by the governor.
