Soon, the owners receive an assignment to dissuade the Koziegłowicz family (Antoni Fertner and Irena Skwierczyńska) from an American girl they have chosen as a future wife for their son Roman (Wacław Ścibor-Rylski [pl]). However, the boy has fallen in love with the forester's daughter, Krysia (Maria Nobisówna). To carry out their plan, Teofil disguises himself in women's clothing and pretends to be an American woman.
