The movie starts with a silent section of slapsticks in BLUE and white and with piano music, giving an outline of Karin's rise and fall. The rest is normal B&W movie. Karin does not belong to the nobility but nevertheless marries the mentally ill king Erik XIV and becomes queen of Sweden. The king's skilled counsellor Göran Persson wants a royal policy supporting the people and supported by it. But in relation to the nobility the king oscillates between provocative strength and unpredictable weakness. Göran arranges that some very powerful noblemen are killed. Subsequently the king tries to have them convicted of high treason by the parliament. He forgets the manuscript, mixes up all facts, and the noblemen are acquitted. But Göran speedily gathers another parliament and has them convicted. Meanwhile Erik apologises because of the unjust murders. Hence Erik is dethroned and imprisoned. Göran is executed. Karin is restricted to a castle in Finland. In the prison Erik believes that he is still the king and gives the guards presents such as all fishes in the Baltic Sea. 译文(3): 这部电影以一段无声的蓝白闹剧和钢琴音乐开始，勾勒出卡琳的兴衰。其余为正常B&；W电影。卡琳不属于贵族，但嫁给了患有精神病的国王埃里克十四世，成为瑞典女王。国王娴熟的谋士Gö；兰佩尔森希望制定一项支持人民并得到人民支持的王室政策。但就贵族而言，国王在挑衅性的力量和不可预测的弱点之间摇摆不定。Gö；冉安排杀害一些非常有权势的贵族。随后，国王试图让议会判定他们犯有叛国罪。他忘记了手稿，把所有的事实都弄混了，贵族们就被无罪释放了。但是Gö；兰迅速召集了另一个议会，并将他们定罪。与此同时，埃里克为不公正的谋杀道歉。因此，埃里克被废黜入狱。Gö；ran被执行。卡琳被限制在芬兰的一座城堡内。在监狱里，埃里克相信自己仍然是国王，并送给守卫们礼物，比如波罗的海的所有鱼。
