Adolf Jansson makes a living doing odd jobs until one day he gets a job working as a butler in the Pettersson residence. Adolf is instantly liked by everyone in the family except the daughter Susette, whom Adolf has fallen in love with.
The film centers on Algot Söderholm's two daughters, beautiful Magda and plain, less desirable Lena. Adapted from the 1910 play by Ernst Fastbom.
