Franz and Swanilda are to be married in only one day. Things go awry when Franz falls for the beautiful Coppélia – not realizing that she is in fact just a life-like doll created by the odd Doctor Coppélius. Swanilda is greatly angered that Franz would be flirting with another girl the day before their wedding. However, once they both realize that Coppélia was really just a doll, the wedding goes on as planned and all is well.
