The fairest maiden is crowned queen of the May Day festival and the dignitaries of the town, surrounded by the cheering populace, music and decoration, are on the huge platform to do her honor. She is entitled to marry the man of her heart with public celebration. The bridegroom makes his way to the fair grounds and jumps into the basket of a balloon. Just as he is ascending his bride comes to the scene and attempts the hazardous task of joining her loved one, but she is a few seconds too late, for the aircraft goes with a jerk, and she finds herself caught by its dangling anchor, and thus she rides, struggling and squirming as the balloon goes high into the clouds.
