Director Jessen lives with his sons Fritz and Jørgen in a country house on the coast of Øresund. One day, Jessen announces that his boss is coming to visit from Australia, and that he will bring along his daughter, Alice. Jessen further proclaims that he wants one of his sons to marry Alice. Full of prejudice against Australians, Fritz and Jørgen end up drawing lots to determine who must accept this terrible fate. Upon arriving in Denmark, Alice decides to send her friend Elsie ahead to the country house to take the measure of the two fellows and report back to her. She pretends to be Alice, and to complicate things further, Fritz and Jørgen have in the meantime hired two strange vagabonds, Pat and Patachon, to pretend to be them, hoping that this will make her turn around and leave immediately. Once Fritz and Jørgen discover that the young Australian woman in no way matches any of their preconceived notions, but is in fact sweet and beautiful, their dispute suddenly changes in nature: now, it becomes about who can win her heart. At this point they still have no idea that the young woman is not Alice at all.

The wealthy and self-absorbed Per Persson is in love with the miller's beautiful daughter, Grethe, whose heart, however, belongs to the miller's apprentice.

As a result of various complications, Pat and Patachon are employed as helping hands at the old mill and become good friends with the miller's widow, Grethe and the apprentice. The miller's widow is in financial trouble, and Patachon's eagerness to help soon gets him and Pat embroiled in an arson case.
