János Gergely returns from Canada with his daughter Lucy. She is very interested in the folk traditions of Transylvania and the famous marriage market held there. Meanwhile, Peter is seeking a debt owed to him by Lucy's father. The two end up being wed in peasant costumes without realising that the marriage is valid.
