An Egyptian princess falls into the evil power of the Marsh King. A child is born to her and is taken to be raised by a Viking woman. When the girl becomes a young woman, she meets a Christian slave who preaches mercy and compassion. Changed by this encounter, Helga finds her true mother and travels with her back to Egypt. The story ends on a memorable note when Helga discovers herself in the future, and majestically changes into a swan.
