Carousel barker Liliom (Charles Boyer) falls in love with innocent Julie (Madeleine Ozeray), quits his job, and marries her. But he proves to be a terrible husband, and when he learns that Julie is pregnant, he takes part in a robbery during which he kills himself. Liliom waits at Heaven's gates where he is told that he must return to Earth on his daughter's 16th birthday and perform one good deed before he can earn his wings. Rogers & Hammerstein later used this story for their musical, "Carousel."
