A papucshős

Rácz Nelly has as many as two suitors; the handsome but light-minded Balogh Miklós, - who even made a conquest of mother - and Kovács Gyula, the inhibited weakling yet with a secure income. Nelly loves Balogh and rejects Kovács, who gets soaking drunk in his despair. At home, dizzy with liquor, wants to commit suicide, but being drunk, is only capable of falling asleep. In his dream, he goes through the future; sees Nelly won by the love of a man who is capable of everything for her, and she consents to marrying him. 25 years go by. The timid husband is terrorised by his wife and his mother-in-law, and his daughter loves a shallow man. In his despair, he attempts a second suicide. At this point, he awakens. He is happy, because he understood that his marriage could not have been a success, and rejoicing because he will not need to play the role of the henpecked husband. And at the wedding, Balogh's conduct is by no means that of a weakling. Could that be that he will never become a henpecked husband? (texte officiel du distributeur)
