Gimple is a simple and gullible baker who becomes known as a fool in the village of Frampol. He marries Elka, who has a constant stream of lovers visit her right under her husband's nose. She simply denies it when Gimple asks who is in her bedroom, from which he is banished. Meanwhile, Elka bears six children. Before she dies prematurely, she tells Gimple that none of the children are his. In retribution, he pours a bucket of urine into the bread he bakes each night. Then, confused and disillusioned, he leaves the village in search of some kind of genuine experience, free from deception.
