Pologne, 1704. Le pays est dirigé par Frédéric-Auguste de Saxe qui a nommé le colonel Ollendorf Statthalter de Cracovie. Les rassemblements nocturnes sont interdits. Ollendorf donne un bal qui aura comme invités la comtesse désargentée Nowalska et ses deux filles Bronislava et Laura. Bronislava s'intéresse seulement à la nourriture et à la danse, ce qui embarrasse sa mère. Laura, cependant, est assaillie par les hommes. Ollendorf veut une danse avec Laura qui esquive. Mais alors qu'il la serre et lui embrasse l'épaule, elle lui donne un gifle, ce qui est un déshonneur, surtout venant d'une Polonaise. Il rit jaune en pensant à sa vengeance.
