The plot centers on Ignaz Fischbein, a bullied employee at Strohbach's fashion house, who encounters misfortune at a fairground where he quarrels with Mizzi, who is awaiting her fiancé. A hypnotist named Brahmaputra, played by Albert Paulig, places the pair in a trance for his audience's amusement, causing them to believe they are a newlywed couple. Unable to reverse the hypnosis immediately, Ignaz and Mizzi head to the "Villa Waldfrieden" pension, where chaotic interactions unfold involving Strohbach, Mizzi's jealous fiancé Paul Kasulke (Paul Westermeier), and a retired Russian anarchist (Karl Huszar-Puffy)
