A fragmented tale with a carnival drama unfolds as a masked encounter between a narrator and a mysterious woman, later revealing her long nose as the punch line. The episode ends with forgiveness, a comic unmasking, and a courteous departure amid café intrigue.
A collection of anecdotal vignettes describes a judge who technically married couples after a declaration of intention and another old squire who, startled by a midnight knocking, sent visitors home to bed. Other scenes include a cheeky courtroom wit and a Scottish mouse spinning yarns on treadmills, all in a light, humorous tone.
