An old count has been keeping an eye on the granddaughter of his lock-keeper for quite some time. But the young Maria is in love with the young painter Walter, who is only moderately gifted as an artist. The two marry and become parents of a child. However, the count does not want to let go of his desire for Mary and now chooses another way to gain her favor. Author: Ulf Kjell Gür
