Life's merry-go-round goes full tilt for Agnes, a virtuous carny at
Vienna's Prater just before the Great War. Her father is abused by
their cruel boss, Huber, who may force himself on Agnes. A Count who's
engaged to the daughter of the minister of defense chats up Agnes one
night while he's slumming; she thinks he's Franz, a necktie salesman,
and she falls in love with him. Is he using charm and guile to seduce
her? Plus there's Bartholomew, a hunchback who's a barker at the
Prater; his love for Agnes is unrequited. Are the fates blind or is
there reward for virtue?
