These ten minutes show a backyard party, conducted to the tune of a cheerfully cheesy waltz, suddenly interrupted by the entrance of a woman on the way to the funeral of her son, who had been killed fighting for the Irish Republic.

For any who don't already know the plot, girl meets boy meets girl meets boy and so on through ten scenes and ten partner changes (in one complete Viennese waltz around the dance floor of love.) Prostitute meets soldier who meets parlor maid who meets young gentleman who meets young wife who wants husband (her own) who meets "little miss" who meets poet who meets an actress who meets a count who gets back to the prostitute...
