Baron Von Meislingen, a wealthy but untalented aspirant poet, envies the poor yet gifted poet Peter Långhår who lives in one of his apartments. The baron steals Långhår’s latest poem and publishes it as his own. The work becomes a hit, and Von Meislingen is celebrated as one of the era’s greatest poets. The false acclaim brings him fame.
