Rolla, the Count's daughter, meets István Baracs, a railway engineer, at the village fair and they become very fond of each other. Of course, the count's family would never agree to the marriage, they would only let a noble groom into their house. However, the engineer's valet, Miksa, and the Count's butler, Marcsa, really know how to settle affairs of the heart.

In the story, Ivan Baracs seeks revenge by shaming his noble friends. He dresses his groom, Misha, in a tailscoat and introduces him into society as Count Tasziló. Mishka's fiancée, Marchesa, the dishwasher girl with the palms of her hands, becomes Countess Mary... The interesting thing about Mishka the Magician is that it is one of the rare pieces of operetta literature in which the dancer-comedian and the sub-radio play the leading roles.
