A hypnotist named Brahmaputra, played by Albert Paulig, places the pair in a trance for his audience's amusement, causing them to believe they are a newlywed couple. Unable to reverse the hypnosis immediately, Ignaz and Mizzi head to the "Villa Waldfrieden" pension, where chaotic interactions unfold involving Strohbach, Mizzi's jealous fiancé Paul Kasulke (Paul Westermeier), and a retired Russian anarchist (Karl Huszar-Puffy)
