A short made of four small segments:
1)"Mann Für Alles " (= a man for everything): A woman married a very peculiar man:he washes himself and he shaves with a burning torch;he also spits fire,which is useful to get fried eggs;but when he tries to kiss her,she asks him to get rid of the fire within him first....
2)"Carmen Die Ewige" (=Timeless Carmen)a couple of dancers in a boisterous flamenco ,to the Bizet's operetta arias.
3)"Histoire D'Amour" oder " Eine Liebegeschichte " (= love story);certainly the most pleasant sketch ,played by puppets : a brush is in love with a feather duster ;when the parents are fast asleep ,Romeo-Brush puts a ladder to get to Juliette-Feather Duster but he chooses the wrong window;however everything will work out all right in the end ,for in a cradle ,two baby-brushes are sleeping....It has to be seen to be believed ,but I'm not making anything up!
4)"Das Meisterwerk " (= the masterpiece) A star(?) has so many clothes she finds it hard to choose one .Nevertheless,she visits her favorite designer ,Georges Le Beau,who hates women ("Ich Hasse Frauen" is written on the wall);an anticlimax after the charming third segment,in spite of Liszt's " Hungarian rhapsody".
The title is either a misnomer (such a title would promise a tour in nightclubs or shows ) or a joke.Probably the latter ,though the connection between the four bits escapes me,I fear.
