Robert comes home unexpectedly and discovers that his wife Helene has received a letter from a lover. In a jealous rage he shoots her, and then jumps from the window. A wise man deplores the tragedy and turns time backward; the text and music replay in reverse order, restoring the scene to before the murder and ending happily.
A comic opera satirizing modern life, celebrity, and marriage through parodies of opera and Berlin cabaret.
