La Foire de Guibray is actually a prologue to two other one-act farces, Arlequin Mahomet and Le Tombeau de Nostradamus.

Arlequin and Scaramouche come to the Guibray Fair in order to steal things from merchants.

When Scaramouche talks about how scared he is of the judge of the town, Arlequin suggests that they disguise themselves as Arab actors to avoid suspicion.

Meanwhile, the judge and Pierrot are walking through the fair, watching the various theatrical and musical acts.

An Italian actor offers to entertain the judge, when Arlequin walks up and proposes his own play.
