The tricksters pretend to present various biblical and fantastical scenes, such as Samson demolishing the temple and a dancing girl, using only verbal descriptions since there are no actual puppets. The villagers, fearful of being identified as New Christians and thus considered impure, pretend to see these scenes, eventually convincing themselves they are real. A stranger, a billeting officer, arrives and admits he sees nothing, leading the villagers to mock him for supposedly being a New Christian. The play ends with a brawl as the tricksters revel in the success of their deception.
