 Fridolf has been married to Margit. It doesn t take long, however, before he is arrested for bigamy. His first wife left him a few years ago, but Fridolf isn t very bright and he thought that she was dead when she wrote a letter to him saying that. She ran off to join a circus. By a coincidence, the circus is visiting Fridolf s home town and Fridolf goes to the circus to visit her. But all he can do is make a fool of himself.
