Dr. Falke plans an elaborate revenge for a practical joke played on him once by Eisenstein. He invites Eisenstein te one of Prince Orlovsky's notorious parties, but arranges for Rosalinde to attend too. disguised as a Hungarian countess. Eisenstein flirts outrageously with the ' countess.' who. during the evening, manages to appropriate his watch. When Eisenstein later accuses Rosalinde of infidelity, she is able to confront him with the watch. Falke resolves the situation and all the misunderstandings are blamed on — champagne!
