action
Hans von Grabow, newly married, doesn't want to be disturbed on his honeymoon, especially not by his mother-in-law. When she and her husband, Hugo Windisch, stand in front of the door for a surprise visit, he presents the tramp Bluethroat as his old school friend Baron von Kimmel, who has just confiscated his guest room. But the mother-in-law finds the wrong school friend sympathetic and asks him to stay, whereupon he settles down with the Grabows, drinks away her spirits and befriends the local dignitaries. He even lets the Windischs persuade him to become engaged to their daughter Sophie. After all, he dares to take old Windisch and Sophie to a 'rag ball' at night. But then the real Baron von Kimmel appears. Now the dizziness comes to light, and Bluethroat has to break off the engagement with Sophie again and go "on the roll" again.
