Valdemar Moreaux is a carousel operator at a travelling funfair owned by his girlfriend Helga Mårtensson. When he learns that he is the bastard son of the aristocrat Magnus von Brede, Valdemar is welcomed into his father's manor to be made over into an aristocrat himself. It is he the hope of Count von Brede, the father, that Valdemar will be made worthy of inheriting his title and property. The count also has a young ward, Eva Beckman, and further hopes that Valdemar and Eva will get married. Initially there is however a coolness between Valdemar and Eva, but gradually they become friendly and after a while they agree to marry. When Eva is confronted with the physical side of love however, she finds it disgusting and the Count's hope for an in-house match is dashed. Valdemar realises at the same time that he cannot be made over into another person and he returns to the fair and the honest simplicity of his relationship to Helga.
