A young German sailor comes to Australia in 1928, spending two years in Australia and New Zealand working on farms and becoming an elephant handler in Wirth’s Circus. He returns to Germany, but leaves again in 1936 for America. He returns to Australia as a seaman, but deserts ship in Adelaide. Travelling up to Sydney, he meets a lady, Glenn Martin’s father’s cousin, and they marry after a lightning romance, following which he gets an acting role in the film 'Forty Thousand Horsemen'.When the Second World War starts, he is arrested and put into an internment camp in Victoria. She joins him. At this point she discovers that back in Germany, he was a Baron with lands. They spend the war in the camp. Despite the fact that people now know he is a Baron, he returns to being a seaman. With three children, they settle in Sydney.
