The 1936 film "The Bohemian Girl" is a musical comedy based on the 1843 opera of the same title and staring the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy (Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy). The story is set in the early 1800's in Europe. A group of Gypsies are camped on the property of Count Arnheim who does not like Gypsies. Laurel and Hardy are members of the group and use their first names as their character names. Ollie is married to Mrs. Hardy who constantly scolds him while she carries on an affair with a Gypsy named Devilshoof. Some Gypsy women wear traditional coin jewelry. At one time Ollie steal the count's cane. At a pub, Ollie pulls off the top of the cane revealing some coins. He dumps the prop or imitation coins onto a table.

A group of Gypsies set up camp on the property of Count Arnheim who doesn't like Gypsies.

The Gypsies sing and dance. Two of the Gypsies appear:

Ollie's wife comes over to scold him.

Mrs. Hardy wears traditional Gypsy coin jewelry. She also has a Gypsy lover named Devilshoof. Stan and Ollie need money so they visit the count.

Ollie manages to steal the count's cane and a coin.

The pair head for a pub.

The waiter asks for money in advance and Ollie taps the cane and some coins appear.

The prop or imitation coins appear to be the size of United States quarters.

The lads have some time on their hands.

The lads play a comical finger game for the coins.

The count's men catch Devilsfoot trespassing and whip him. Mrs. Hardy avenges her lover by kidnapping the count's little daughter Arline. She tells Ollie that the child is his.

Mrs. Hardy leaves with her lover and Stan and Ollie raise the little girl. After many years the Gypsies are back at the count's property with Arline grown.

Arline wears traditional Gypsy coin jewelry. She is near the count's castle when she hears him singing and recognizes the voice. The count's men capture her and, believing that she is a Gypsy, prepare to whip her. They also capture Stan and Ollie who are taken to the torture chamber where devices are used to stretch Ollie and shrink Stan.

The count recognizes a birthmark on Arline and there is a reunion. Stan and Ollie are released.
