Sir Edgar, an aloof English gentleman, arrives in a German town with an entourage and animals, then invites a circus troupe into his mansion. Months later, his nephew Lord Barrat is presented to the townspeople, who imitate his eccentric behavior. At a dance, Barrat’s clothes fall away and reveal him to be a trained ape.
The Empress, daughter of the spirit king Keikobad, has no shadow. Unless she obtains one, her father will reclaim her and her husband, the Emperor, will turn to stone. She and her Nurse descend to the human world and try to obtain the Dyer’s Wife’s shadow. The Empress refuses to take it at the cost of the other woman’s future happiness. She receives a shadow of her own, the Emperor is restored, and the Dyer and his Wife reunite.
