Ferdinand Strubel wants his daughter Marianne to marry the son of wealthy brewery owner Baron von Schnackenberg. However Marianne has fallen in love with teacher Leopold, despite her father already setting the wedding day. Leopold has an idea when he reads of the passing of Halley's Comet the day before the marriage is due to take place.
