action
Princess Christine zu Schenckenberg-Nürtlingen is to be betrothed to the Count of Hohenegg. Archduke Benedikt, a former friend of her mother's, acts as a mediator. For this purpose Christine and her mother travel to Bad Ischl , where her future husband and the Archduke are staying, as he is to open the annual “Kaiserball” on behalf of His Majesty the Kaiser. On this occasion, the two should get to know each other better. However, Christine, who came incognito , falls in love there with the Prussian Count von der Görtzen, who is also in Bad Ischl and is also a close friend of the Count of Hohenegg.
Von Hohenegg has meanwhile cast an eye on the pretty seamstress Franzi, who was supposed to be delivering a dress and is mistaken for Christine, because she happens to arrive at the moment she is expected. Rienössl, the hotel's head porter, contributes to this mix-up. He overzealously reports Princess Christine, whom he believes to be an impostor, and thus triggers that the truth will come to light. Von der Görtzen, who assumed he had fallen in love with an impostor, has to realize that he has a real princess in front of him, and Reichsgraf von Hohenegg finds to his surprise that it is the young woman he is in fell in love with the seamstress Franzi. Before the couples who love each other find each other, there is still some turbulence to survive. Von der Görtzen overcomes himself and fights for Princess Christine and also clears the misunderstanding that exists between his friend von Hohenegg and Franzi, so that nothing stands in the way of a happy ending .
