THE STORY
A tale of two rival villages in Canada^ separated by a river^ "The World for Sale," deals mainly with the life and problems of a man by the name of Max Ingolby who seeks to unite the two townships into one strong city and to put an end to the old feud which exists between them.
At the opening of the play we meet Fleda, the heroine of the story and daughter of Gabriel Druse the gypsy king. Gabriel Druse, although a gypsy, is a man of very high intellect who mingles freely with the men of both villages.
Fleda is extremely beautiful and is loved by three men. The first of these is no less a personage than Ingolby himself, whose regard she returns. Another is Marchand, the leader of the rough element in the French town, a rascal in every sense of the word.
The third suitor is Jethro Fawe, a Gypsy to whom Fleda was married in their childhood according to an old Gypsy rite. Both Marchand and Jethro are jealous of Ingolby because of his success and because they see that he also has fallen in love with Fleda.
Jethro, the more firery of the two, attempts to assassinate Ingolby but is not successful and is driven out of town by Ingolby. In the meantime, Marchand has inaugurated strikes and unrest among the French population at Manitou, and when Ingolby goes to quiet the men, a drunken sailor hurls a missile at him and he is made blind.
