Az Uj Foldesur (The New Squire) was based on a novel by popular Hungarian author Maurice Jokal, whose many works had previously been largely ignored. After the wars of 1848, a retired Austrian army officer "returns to the soil" as a gentleman farmer in Hungary in the 1850s. The old campaigner is the father of two daughters: One of the girls comes to a sad end thanks to the malfeasances of a handsome spy, but the other has a happier fate when she falls in love with a Hungarian POW. The underlying theme is brotherhood, as the formerly warring Austrians and Hungarians at last find a common ground. Az Uj Foldesur was nearly twice as expensive as the average Hungarian film -- but at $40,000, its budget was a drop in the bucket compared to a typical Hollywood production.

The penniless but handsome Count Zalavári chooses a rich girl from the countryside for her money. They don't get to marry because the butler catches him with the maid. He meets an American millionairess who gives him expensive jewelry as a gift. She is killed by her driver later that night. All suspicion falls on the Count.

Using funds provided by her sister, bank clerk Olga Vass spends six weeks treating her tuberculosis at an upscale Tatra hotel where she falls in love with the resort's ski instructor.

Ágnes, Vass and Kriszt run a sanatorium for consumptives. Fifi, daughter of the institute owner is also here, mortally ill. Feri, the ski trainer relieves her with his courtship every now and then from her boredom and distress.

A greedy man is taught a lesson by his three aunts who are tired of his demands for more money, forcing them to hire an actress to flirt with him and learn the truth about his actual inheritance.
