Synopsis

Boredom in a childless marriage of an oldish rich count and his mature but attractive wife is worsened also by a lack of physical love. The smart countess decides instead of a medicine which does not function to strengthen her husband's libido by employing a young beautiful chamber-maid. But the virtuous girl refuses all courting of a boorish servant and her master, whose worn senses really woke up. When she complaints to the madam she recommends her to be patient with the master. The master gives a beautiful earring to the girl and he promises to give her the second one if he can visit her in the evening in her room. She gets another earring from the madam for an exchange of beds for the desirable night. The girl agrees with pleasure. The master who is not aware of anything gets frightened by the young cheeky servant of a possible stroke. He sends to the room this servant instead of going there himself. The madam is excited about the night full of love until the truth comes out. But the time heals everything. The count and the countess are slightly bored together again, but there is a little offspring in the cradle.
