Babette søger tilflugt hos to fromme præstedøtre, og skønt hun stadig er omgærdet af mystik, bliver hun i deres tjeneste hurtigt en uundværlig del af det lille samfund, som er underlagt den afdøde pastors strenge leveregler. Babettes eneste forbindelse til fædrelandet er en lotteriseddel. Pludselig efter 14 år vinder hun den store gevinst på 10.000 francs.

Så oprinder dagen, der endelig afslører, hvem Babette egentlig er: En stor kunstner!
