Plot summary
The Palace of Illusions is a Hungarian sideshow in Budapest, and Cock Robin is its ballyhoo man. One of its turns is a reenactment of the dance of the seven veils and the beheading of Jokanaan, and Robin takes the part of Jokanaan, whose head is brought to the dancer on a platter while the audience delights in the trick. The dancer is Salome, Robin's former girl, and she still hopes to have him back. Robin has set his sights on Lena, the daughter of a wealthy sheep merchant, and he does not refuse the presents the smitten Lena buys for him. Salome's boyfriend, The Greek, is angered by her feelings for Robin.
