- "Der Herr vom andern Stern" (The Man From Another Star) has the ability to travel the universe by concentration alone. But his concentration is disturbed as he passes earth. Once landed he is immediately targeted by the police and since he does not have a passport he has to go to the registration office. No one knows exactly how to deal with this strange and dangerous man, who can deform and double objects. So they give him an ID card, but at the same time have him followed by the secret service. At the registration office the traveler meets the beautiful Flora and they fall in love. Now he wants to stay on earth, but in his attempt to gain a foothold he quickly encounters the negative aspects of earthly society. In the end he even ends up in jail where he finally finds the concentration to leave earth.
- Baruch Mayr, son of an orthodox rabbi from a poor shtetl in Galizia, decides to break with the family tradition and leave the shtetl to become an actor. Due to this behaviour his father bans him from his family. Baruch, who joined a small burlesque troupe is discovered by an Austrian Erzherzogin (archdutchess) who introduces him to the director of the most important Theater in Vienna, the Burgtheater. Baruch receives a contract there and becomes more and more an assimilated jew. But his relation with the Erzherzogin isn't approved by the Austrian court, so they have to end it. When an old friend of his father, who is always traveling from one Jewish community to the next (and has told him first about the theatres in the world), Baruch becomes a little bit homesick and returns for a holiday to his old shtetl to see his folks and to pick up his childhood sweetheart. But his father wants him not to enter his house, so he returns to Vienna, with his bride. But his old friend does not stop trying to convince his father of his errors.
