其实在勒布瓦纳先生去世之前，奥毕斯蒂娜便开始预谋得到他的客栈，因此她常常跑到客栈吆五喝六，一副女主人的样子。而依波利特平时却只会默不作声地干杂活。因此在律师宣布勒布瓦纳先生遗嘱的那天，所有人都没想到依波利特会获得全部的遗产。奥毕斯蒂娜更是气得要命，但当人们听到继承遗产的条件时，却都情不自禁地笑起来，因为布勒瓦纳先生要求依波利特必须在年底前取得小学的修业证书，否则将没有资格继承遗产。这对依波利特来说可不是件容易的事情，奥毕斯蒂娜也因此松了一口气，她坚信以依波利特的智商是不可能拿到修业证书的。
无奈依波利特重新走进了学校，和一群小自己二十几岁的孩子一同上课。玛特莱娜是小学校里的老师，她被依波利特的真诚所打动，主动要求为他补习功课。
眼看考试的日期就要到了，奥毕斯蒂娜看出依波利特一直在暗恋自己的女儿亚洛特，于是他骗依波利特说亚洛特也喜欢他，希望他在考试中故意出错，这样客栈就能作为他表达爱情的信物归亚洛特了。依波利特信以为真，故意在考试中胡乱地回答考官问题。然而就在奥毕斯蒂娜正在为自己的阴谋即将得逞而暗自窃喜时，学校却传来消息说依波利特通过了考试。原来他胡乱的回答却偏偏都阴错阳差地答对了。依波利特最终不但得到了客栈，还收获了来自玛特莱娜的真正的爱情。
