content
A nobleman marries a rich but supposedly ugly woman because he is broke and wants to save himself so financially. The marriage is meant to be platonic, but when the count gets to know her better, he falls in love with her. However, she wants to put him to the test because she thinks he married for love, but she is insecure. The joke, however, almost becomes serious matter until the uncle - despite the funny ignorance - saves the marriage.
