A school teacher becomes a momentary hero after having rescued a stuffed-bird from a school incident.

The film is the simultaneous portrayal of the wedding ceremony and honeymoon of a city and a country couple.

Kata Juhász is the shrew in this updating of Shakespeare's play. Kata's wedding is scheduled but her groom deserts her over her whims. In order to prevent the guests from being disappointed, she hires a tramp from the banks of the Danube to play the role of the groom. The tramp, Chief Engineer Péter Szabó, doesn't bend to her caprices. This leads to confusion and resolution in the Shakespearian fashion.

Musical comedy set in a Grand Hotel.
