When Peter proposes to his wife Ellen one evening that they have a three-way relationship with his girlfriend Stella and quotes from Goethe's tragedy "Stella" to back it up, she initially reproaches him for not wanting to compare himself to the great poet. But then she asks for Stella's telephone number so that she can arrange to meet her. Peter, on the other hand, doesn't like that very much... A charming story that quickly reveals the self-indulgent game of the man who then allows himself to be led astray by his wife.
