The night camp of Mischli-Mischloch is an Austro-Hungarian-German silent film war satire filmed in Austria in 1917 .
action
A film company receives approval from the authorities to record real battle scenes in a theater of war in the fantasy state “Liburia”. The director Koberl goes to the local flea market beforehand to buy the necessary film equipment. With an angel of peace at the helm, the crew enters the fray and begins to shoot. A fierce battle is perfectly simulated, and Koberl throws bombs and grenades in all directions to make everything look as real as possible. This is noticed by the opposing war party of the Liburians, the “Cherkosaks”, who now believe that their enemy is in their immediate vicinity.
The attack is ridden and the entire film crew is captured by the enemy. Then the curious booty is presented to the “chief” of the looters. On his hard night's camp in Mischli-Mischloch, director Koberl now has a strange dream: he sees the angel of peace pour a sleeping pill into the chief's wine and all the film people can escape the camp. In fact, the escape succeeds, and Koberl, who in passing can also uncover a large-scale attack plan by the Cherkosaks, can return to the Liburians with his people. There he is showered with praise and receives a medal of bravery.
