Seven year old Elsi has two older sisters. The haughty Ruth and the mocking Anna. Due to Ruth's lovelessness towards her little sister, she falls ill with scarlet fever and becomes deaf and blind. This leads to a complete change in the attitudes of the two great sisters. An operation brings Elsi's eyesight back and over the years she can hear again due to continued medical treatment. Ruth becomes a teacher for blind and deaf children, while Elsi becomes a deaconess.
