Shy young Lancelot doesn’t want to marry. But his uncle, the Baron of Chanterelle, wants to maintain the bloodline, so he commissions a search for bridal candidates. Lancelot flees to a monastery. When the monks learn of the marriage settlement he would receive, they convince him to fake a wedding and marry a life-size doll. The young man chooses one inspired by Ossi, the doll-maker’s daughter, but then it breaks—so Ossi impersonates the doll.
