Synopsis

An overworked servant at a Dutch tavern falls for a visiting traveller and enters an ice-skating contest to win his attention. Her employer frustrates the encounter, and the visitor later becomes interested in another woman. Secret messages, an unwanted marriage and a meeting at an old mill draw the servant into a fresh opportunity to change her fortunes.
