Laurel and Hardy are gypsies who wander around an old Austrian city in search of people to tell fortunes to, and pickpocket. Ollie is married to a domineering woman who openly cheats on him. Her lover is sentenced to a public lashing, so she steals the young daughter of the count who ordered it. She tells Ollie it is his, and after she leaves him, he and Stan raise her. As a teenager, she stumbles onto her real father's castle and is sent to prison. Stan and Ollie try to rescue her, but get captured themselves and sent to the torture dungeon, with strange results. Odd adventure for the comedy duo, an uneasy mix of songs, comedy and scares. Best scene is Stan getting drunk on a barrel of wine.
