A love triangle is building up to a drama in and around the old mill. 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. To Persson's great frustration, Grethe would never dream of choosing wealth over love, so Persson instead - and unsuccessfully - tries to get rid of his rival in all sorts of nefarious ways. 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.
Folly of Vanity Synopsis
A young husband and wife, Alice and Robert, attend an extravagant party given by one of Robert's wealthy clients, Ridgeway.

All of Ridgeway's guests are invited on a yachting cruise during which Ridgeway is attentive to Alice, while Robert flirts with a wealthy widow. One night, Alice dreams that, when Ridgeway tries to attack her, she jumps into the sea and is carried to Neptune's court. There a festival is held in her honor, and she is shown the most beautiful of the sea's sirens. When a witch discovers that the pearl necklace has made a mark of vanity on Alice's neck, Neptune orders her from the deep. Alice awakens, returns the necklace to Ridgeway, and is reconciled with Robert.
