Main title: "Die heiratslustigen Frauen" (The eager-to-get-married Women) (in quotation marks) - A man intent on marriage can barely move for all the letters in his office [frame scan 1]. He gets surrounded in a park by a group of women, similarly intent on marriage [frame scans 2 & 3]. He takes off, pursued closely by the women. He climbs up a scaffold – pursued closely by the women [frame scan 4]. The wild chase continues through a bedroom [frame scan 5], a dining room, a study, a stream and concludes with a car chase. The man successfully escapes in the car - but with the women in tow: he will never be rid of the spirits, whom he has summoned [frame scans 6 & 7]
