Psichinski rings Mr. Semmler's doorbell and alerts him to strange noises in the attic. Together they sneak upstairs and discover a full-grown horse, which they report to the police officer. He triggers the alarm. The fire department and several workmen marvel at the event and ponder how it could have gotten there in its full size. The return transport requires structural measures and reconstruction work. After completion, Psischinski's house resembles a "jewel box". Later, the policeman asks Psischinski how he "managed" the matter and learns that he had brought a foal there 1½ years ago in order to draw the attention of the public, especially the tradesmen, at the appropriate time so that work that was difficult to carry out could finally be completed. Shaking his head, the official, who also owns a house, leaves the property with the comment: "You should have a horse!"

To an attentive passer-by, the activities of some painters seem very suspicious. As a result of their artistic efforts, the anti-occupier slogan AMI GO HOME appears to have appeared on the wall. The outraged citizen does not succeed in persuading the craftsmen to remove the writing - he only receives amusement. The police, who were finally alerted, and the representatives of the occupying power were unable to find anything offensive about the lettering, as the full company name "Armin Gotzschomer" had developed from the letters in the meantime. In the evening, however, the lettering does convey the presumed message AMI GO HOME, as the painters have highlighted some of the letters with fluorescent paint.
