Plot
Onódy István, lieutenant of the Fehérvár Hussar regiment, musters out in order to help his old and widowed mother in farming. He falls in love with the baroness in the neighbouring estate and soon makes up his mind to marry her. During proposing to her, however, he accidentally crashes seven roses of the baroness' rose garden. The angry young lady consents on the condition that he replaces the seven roses with roses acquired from seven different villages during seven days with no kisses or money but only his hard work given for them. Onódy fulfils the condition despite the difficulties caused mainly by the music teacher and lady companion of the baroness and gets the hand of the girl.
