A beautiful and comfortable castle in the countryside, in Hungary in the 1930s. The inhabitants of the castle have no idea how to escape their boredom, especially Miss Klári. The two burglars sneaking up on the house are just what her courtiers need. They decide not to show their faces, but grant the burglars' every wish. To add to the fun, later on the house's inhabitants themselves appear in the drawing room dressed as burglars.
