| In 1817 England, during a period of
general unrest among the poor, a beautiful young woman
mysteriously appears in a small village. Wearing a turban
and speaking a language no one has heard before, the exotic
stranger, whose name seems to be Caraboo, completely baffles
everyone she meets. When a Dragoon Captain (Dougray Scott)
suspects she is a vagrant and |
 |
a fraud, the Reverend Hunt takes pity on her and
delivers her to the home of local aristocrats, Mr. and Mrs.
Worrall.
At first, Mr. Worrall will have nothing to do with the
stranger, and sends her off to jail for vagrancy. There,
the young woman manages to convey to |
| the magistrate and Mrs.
Worrall, that she is a Princess from a far off land.
Mrs. Worrall then takes her back to her estate where the graceful, self-assured, and
regal-like young woman |
| woman, captures the imagination of the local
aristrocratics. Her introduction into society, brings her to
the attention of several skeptics, including newspaperman, John
Gutch. He suspects she might be a fraud and begins to
investigate her origins, while falling under her spell as well. |

Is this young woman a real Princess or a fraud? Is this a true
story or a screenwriter's fancy? Watch the movie and delight in
discovering the answers for yourself.
