Idioms garnish our language, but are often hard to translate. This comedy helps to illustrate them and tells the story of two neighbors, who become enamored. The "foam-beater" (boaster) Hanspeter throws an eye after an addle-headed Annemarie, but she just "shows him the bird" (indicates that he is chuckoo). So he has to "jump over his shadow" (take the plunge) and get a foot in her door. Amusement for all proverb fans who love to make whoopee, gaze into the pale blue yonder, or get to the point.
