With furious speed, the overture leads us into the happy party mood of a Bohemian village. Only Marie does not want to join in the exuberant mood, because just today her parents want to marry Wenzel, the son of the wealthy landowner Mícha. Wenzel is cranky, and Marie also loves Hans, and no one knows exactly where he comes from. Since Wenzel has never seen Marie, it's easy for her to scare him in front of his future bride. The matchmaker Kecal, for his part, can buy the bride from Hans for 300 guilders on the condition that only "Mícha's son" is allowed to marry Marie. Marie feels betrayed and sees her dream of love destroyed until it turns out that Hans is Mícha's son from his first marriage, who was believed to be missing. And what will become of Wenzel? The beautiful Esmeralda persuades him to step in as a dancing bear at a traveling circus, which finally enables him to free himself from his strong-willed mother.
