Plot summary

In 1817, a young woman appears in the English countryside, wearing exotic garb and speaking gibberish. Delivered to a nearby manor, the mystery woman is sheltered by the Worralls, who are then persuaded by their suspicious butler Frixos to have the drifter tried for vagrancy and begging, capitol crimes. At the hearing, however, the woman persuades the magistrates through pantomine that she is a princess of Japanese origin named Caraboo, escaped from pirate kidnappers. The Worrals welcome Caraboo back into their home, lavashing upon her the deference due a royal. A society sensation, Caraboo wins over a linguist, the prince regent, and even Frixos. Only an Irish reporter, Gutch, remains skeptical about Caraboo's origins.
