- The priest Gösta Berling is forced to leave his office, because of his drinking habits. The Mistress of Ekeby offers him a place in her manor as one of her 12 Cavaliers. The Cavaliers don't work. Their duty is only to bring gaiety to this hardworking region. At Christmas night the Cavaliers have a party in the forge, when suddenly the wicked Sintram turns up. He assures them that the Mistress of Ekeby is cheating them all. At the big dinner-party at Ekeby at Christmas Day, the Cavalier Kristian Bergh reveals loudly that the Mistress of Ekeby got her seven foundries as a legacy from her secret lover Altringer. When her husband, Major Samzelius, hears this, he gets furious and drives her away from Ekeby. Instead he appoints the Cavaliers as the principals of Ekeby for one year. When Gösta visits the poor Uggla family, Sintram turns up, and tells them spitefully, that the wealthy Anna Stjärnhök is going to marry rich old Dahlberg instead of their son Ferdinand. Gösta promises to bring Anna from the ball at Borg to Ferdinand, but instead he falls in love with Anna himself.
