Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? At a masquerade ball the popular young bachelor meets a girl in black, with whom he pleads in vain for a glimpse of her face. She expresses the wish to remain unknown, and when he, having unmasked, gives her his card, she writes on it, “The Woman in Black.” In the country, that summer, he meets with an accident while driving, and is succored by a villager and her niece. They take him to their cottage, where the bruises and broken wrist sustained in the runaway are treated. His hostess insists that he remain under her roof until he is entirely well, and he accepts. As he convalesces he falls hopelessly in love with the girl, but she will give him no encouragement. Returning to town, he keeps his promise to meet the fair unknown at the next masquerade ball, and informs her that he loves another. She then unmasks, revealing the face of the girl he loves.
