Count Gareth Harcourt accidentally saw a traveling circus performance and was shocked by the striking resemblance of the young acrobat Miranda to the beautiful Lady Maud, whom he unsuccessfully tried to convince to marry the King of France himself. A daring plan matured instantly - the count invited the rootless circus performer to play the role of a noble lady and take Maud’s place at the altar. However, he did not take into account the fact that he himself could fall madly in love with Miranda, and she could respond to his feelings with all the fervor of first love.
