His son, Gwynplaine, is disfigured with a permanent grin by Dr. Hardquannone. He discovers a blind baby girl, Dea, who has also been abandoned, and they are taken in by the mountebank Ursus. He and Dea have fallen in love; he remains distant, believing himself unworthy of her affection due to his disfigurement.
