Comedy in which Elza's father wants her to choose high society over her friendship with a painter. Elza Grunner is a model for the painter Bernhard. Her father, however, demands that Elza choose between the Count of Trutwitz and an American. Two befriended actors want to help her, pretend to be the Count of Trutwitz and the American, respectively, and visit Mr. Grunner. Of course, they make sure these visits are a fiasco. When the American wants to kidnap Elza, Bernhard comes to the rescue. Mr. Grunner eventually approves of Bernhard.

A young girl returns to her father's country, but her joy is short-lived. She is courted by a neighbouring fisherman, but also by the captain of her father's ship, who has shady intentions towards her.
