Liliom, a merry-go-round barker at a Budapest amusement park, becomes enamored of Julie, a servant girl, and though under the influence of Madame Muskat, a sideshow entrepreneur, he marries the girl. Three months pass, with Julie living with her aunt Hulda and Liliom, who left the carousel and doesn't have a job. Although he has not been a good provider, Liliom is spurred into action by the discovery that his wife is pregnant and eventually is influenced by his friend Buzzard, to rob a bank cashier so that he can take Julie to America.
He dies when he stabs himself rather than get caught by the police. When on the train of the afterlife, he is sent to Hell for ten years before he can get a second chance. He comes back for a day, sees his child, then gets annoyed at not being let in the house before he hits her. However, the hit feels like a kiss to the daughter, which means that the memory of Liliom still lives.
