The action takes place partly in Ulm, partly in Vienna, partly in Prague, partly
in the fairy world.
The plot is virtually identical to that
of The
Fairy Ball, or Carpenter, Tailor and locksmith, with minor
variations. The wayward humans
who are sent
good fortune are called Leim, Knieriem and Zwirn in this version, and these
three reappear in The Families Zwirn, Knieriem
and Leim, or the Day the World Ended.
