- The Flying Circus was the largest traveling artist band in the country, and among its favorite artists were the rope-dancer, Laurento and the snake tamer, Ula Kiri. The hot blooded gypsy snake tamer is passionately in love with the attractive young man, hut he does not quite return her feelings. She is hasty and ill-tempered, and not far from being cruel to those depending on her. For the first time the Flying Circus pitches its tents in a small country town. The daughter of the mayor attends. The rope dancer meets her and for him it is a case of love at first sight, and he decides to do all in his power to win her. That night a great fire breaks out in the town, and the flying embers ignite the home of the mayor. The townspeople strive to deflect the flames, but all in vain. The mansion is doomed to destruction and it seems that the mayor's daughter must perish. At this juncture Laurento beats his way through the flames and scales the wall, and, picking up the frantic maiden, jumps to the mesh of telegraph wires outside the window. Carrying his burden over the fragile wires, he saves her amid the frantic cheers of the populace. The grateful mayor makes him a welcome guest, and he soon wins the heart of the young girl, but he has yet to obtain the father's consent. He worries continually about this problem, and not even at home can he rest in peace, for Ula Kiri, who feels that her beloved friend is sliding away from her, keeps tormenting him with jealousy and mockery. At last he plucks up his courage and goes to the mayor. The latter is friendly to the young man, but he compels the rope dancer to leave with a vague promise for the future. If circumstances, should alter. A capital idea strikes the young man to obtain money. He arranges to do a rope dance to the church tower. The circus director is delighted with the idea.

A snake has escaped and its body bars the way to the entrance to the tower. The snake tamer has, in her mad jealousy, forgotten all about her duties, and this negligence now proves fatal. Erna implores her in vain to call back the reptile, as she is the only one that can do it, but Ula Kiri will not listen to her in her storm of jealousy and hatred.

- The princess is presiding at a reception being given in the old castle during the absence of her venerable father. The prime minister announces that the old soldier has again overcome his warring neighbors. The princess does not appear to be over elated, because she recalls that a young captain, whom she had once met in times of peace, might be among the dead or the wounded. Sure enough he is brought to a hospital, a wounded prisoner, and Elena volunteers to act as his nurse despite the protests of the prime minister. As he regains some of his normal strength he chafes under the restraint imposed upon him, and in her efforts to ease his lot, the princess issues orders that he may have use of the castle grounds. In his walks he frequently comes in contact with the princess, and while their intimacy ripens, the prime minister arrows more jealous. At length he clearly indicates his aversion to her companionship with an avowed enemy of her country, and in the name of the king seeks to restrict the captain from exercising in the grounds of the castle. The princess dismisses him and continues to secure an occasional tete-a-tete with the captain. He persistently pleads to her to help him escape from the confinement that is so galling to him and at length she accedes. She forwards to his apartments a rope ladder and a revolver hidden beneath a consignment of books. In the silence of the night he lowers his rope and makes his perilous descent to the foot of the walls. A sentry spies him, fires a warning shot, and engages the captain in a stern struggle. The captain manages, however, to break away; but soon he has a troop of cavalry on his track. He swims a river and rushes pell-mell through woodland country, but his mounted pursuers gradually gain upon him and, still weak from his wounds, he falls panting to the ground as they reach him. A court-martial quickly follows his recapture, and the dread verdict is summarily issued. Princess Elena sends for the prime minister, who has already signed the death warrant, and pleads to him to revoke it. He says he is ready to do so, but imposes, as a condition, that she should become his (the prime minister's) wife. She returns abruptly to her apartments and determines on a course which seems to her to offer the only possible way out for her and the man she loves. Under the cover of the night and closely veiled she steals to the prison and then gains admission to the cell in which the condemned man is crouched in an attitude of hopelessness. At first he thinks she is but a vision of his disordered mind, but when he folds her in his arms he understands the depth of love which has prompted her to come to him. She tells him that the chances of escape are too forlorn to attempt, and knowing that she cannot save him, she has decreed there is only one thing to do, to die together. She takes a paper knife, from her dress and hands it to him, but he recoils, and in an outburst declares that he will not die, but must go back to his country. His country comes first, and recognizing the inevitable, and the futility of their love, the princess rushes from the cell and secures a uniform of a prison warder. The captain kisses her and makes his escape. Later she is found on the floor of the cell, a victim of her own stiletto.

- The action begins one early summer morning in a hostel, where we see, among others, two young girls, a law student, Ruth, and a small office lady, Ilse.

By chance, these two girls come across one of Ruth's fellow students, Pontus Berthelsen, who is spending the summer holidays in a fisherman's cabin. Ilse, who has little world experience, quickly takes an interest in Pontus, who possesses a lot of innate charm. Pontus does his best to conquer Ilse, but her bourgeois attitude means - at first - that she does not fall for his rather deft approaches.
- Prince Walter, whilst out hunting with his adjutant, the Duke of Wolmer, becomes separated from the rest of the field, and the pair encounter Agnes, a prepossessing country maiden who resides with her grandmother, and of her inquire their whereabouts. The adjutant, who is an ardent amateur photographer, observes that the prince is struck by the girl's beauty and secures a snapshot of her. It is a case of love at first sight with the Prince and his fair charmer, and the latter, refusing to be momentarily recompensed for the services she has rendered to His Royal Highness, allows him to present her with a ring. In return, he takes a lock of her hair. The pair part, but the gay cavalier has become a lovesick swain. His thoughts are ever of Agnes, and a game of chess with the adjutant proves tedious. Showing the lock of hair to the adjutant, the latter understands what is troubling his royal master, and consoles him somewhat by presenting him with a present of the snapshot he secured of the girl. To further the plans of the lovers, the adjutant secures a tenancy of the house adjoining that of Agnes, and the love-making proceeds apace. Soon we see the happy pair in fond embrace and the compact is sealed with a kiss. But the prince's august parent has other plans for his son's matrimonial prospects. For political reasons, it is necessary that he shall be betrothed to the Princess of Illyria, and at a council meeting the engagement is decided upon. Prince Walter, whilst enjoying a tete-a-tete with Agnes, is apprised by the adjutant of what has occurred, a copy of a newspaper containing the official announcement being handed to him. In a rage he tramples the paper under foot and goes off with his informer. Agnes chances to discover the journal, and reads the news which for her is fraught with such importance. The prince decides to return home, and writes a letter acquainting Agnes with the fact that circumstances over which he has had no control forces him to break his engagement with her. Arrived at the royal palace, the prince bows to the will of his father and the council. Both His Royal Highness and Agnes are, however, disconsolate. The former has no thoughts except for her to whom his heart is given, whilst the latter declines to be tempted even with the daintiest luxuries. She sends back the emblem of her troth, and the prince writes a letter imploring her to see him once more and let him spend a last happy hour in her company. The adjutant, seeing how matters are, takes affairs into his own hands, and visiting Agnes, prevails upon her to gratify the prince's desire, conveying her to the palace in his own motor car. A touching scene between the lovers in the royal garden ensues, and before parting the prince gives Agnes a white rose as the emblem of his undying love for her. Tender farewells are said, and Agnes returns to her humble abode. Life's dream for her is o'er, but the prince, bowing to destiny, returns to the palace and is wedded to the lady of his father's choice, bestowing upon her his name, but not his love, for that is the sole property of the girl of humble mien, and the picture closes with the newly wedded pair bowing their acknowledgments upon the balcony to the assembled populace below, who little realize that he who will someday rule over them has sacrificed his happiness in the fulfillment of his duty to his king and country.
