At the end of his shift, Richard asks his boss to borrow a hundred [[Taler]]. When the Boss laughs this off, Richard quietly sneaks into his boss' office and finds the safe unlocked. Richard hastily grabs the money in there and hails a taxi to the local tailors wherein he buys a fancy suit. Richard then hires the same taxi to take him to the castle de Vouclair. However, as the taxi driver remarks that Richard still reeks of petrol, they instead go to a bathhouse where Richard has a good scrub. Finally ready to attend the ball, Richard arrives at castle de Vouclair. Richard manages to bluff his way into the castle after fooling the guards into thinking he is actually a [[Primo_Kino#Vespia|Vespian]] noble who has forgotten his invitation. When arriving at the main hall, Richard learns that he is in fact partaking in an international get-together of nobility by [[Urcea|Urcean]] nobleman Patrick (played by [[Michael Geigh]]). Richard makes his way to a balcony overviewing the grand hall to spot Caroline next to her father Gillaume. The two lock eyes and are both instanly smitten with one another. Richard asks about Caroline and is informed by Patrick about her identity. Around the same time, Gaius (played by [[Vittorio Ballotelli]]) walks onto the scene, shaking hands wih Gillaume. He excahnges an awkward kiss on the cheek with Caroline which causes Richard to recoil somewhat.

Richard makes his way to the lower floor where he sees Caroline's faughter Gillaume put his arm around the shoulder of Gaius as the two walk away. Richard goes to the orchestra playing {{wpl|Baroque music|baroque music}} and asks them to play something more modern. Switching the tune to a more {{wpl|Rock_and_roll|rock'n'roll}}-style number, Richard bids Caroline to join him for a dance. The two share a dance and a musical number before her father Gillaume returns, shouting for the music to be stopped and Caroline to return to him immediately. When she refuses, he orders his guards to seize Richard immediately, who narrowly escapes into the night. Caroline, infuriated with her father, runs to her chambers where she cries into her pillow. Her father attempts to enter but is unable to as she has locked the door. The ghost of her forefather Aedelbrecht (played by [[Adam le Bonc]]) appears in the midst of her father's demands to open the door to ask her why she is crying. After an initial shock of conversing with a ghost, Caroline explains that she doesn't wish to marry the Elbonian prince Gaius. When Caroline asks about the mysterious stranger from tonight, the ghost tell Caroline that she can be taken to the place of her heart's desire provided she is willing to give up everything in exchange. The film the cuts to Gaius outside the door of Caroline's chambers beckoning her to open. When there is no answer he forces his way in to find the room empty.

The film clips to Richard waking up the next morning in the workshop of a local gas station once more draped in a newspaper, with his boss once more poking at him. After Richard denies any knowledge of the money from the safe going missing he is told a woman is asking for him. When Richard gets up he sees Caroline by the gas pumps. The two embrace one another as Richard asks how she found him and the two take part in another musical song, but just then, with the loud honking of encroaching cars, the film clips to an interior view from that of Gaius' car, followed closely by that of Caroline's father Gilllaume. Much hillarity ensues as Richard and Caroline flees in an only partially complete automobile undergoing repairs. A car chase ensues until they make it into a lime quarry in which Richard and Caroline find themselves at a dead end. When Gaius threatens Richard with a pistol Caroline steps in front of him, offering up her life instead of his own. Witnessing the plight of the two young lovers, the ghost of Aedelbrecht intervenes and causes a strong wind to blow Gaius into a pit.
