Norwegian-Danish playwright Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754), inspired by Molière, wrote the wryly satirical, exuberantly funny stage comedy classic on which this film is based: Jeppe, a work-worn peasant drinks to forget and believes himself to be in heaven when jesters of the manor have bathed this unconscious body, dressed him up and left him to wake up in the Baron's bed. Once there, Jeppe almost at once turns into a tyrant himself.
