The hasids gathered at the house of their mentor after a great deal of drinking on the holiday of Purim. Shlomo, the most educated hasid, expounds a theory he has invented, which he calls "The World of Acts". His opponents, among whom the young hasid Shmulik stands out, listen, express doubts, and criticize. On the whole, the story is a jocular imitation of Plato's work "The Symposium."
