Manöverball is a German military swank from 1956 directed by Karl Georg Külb . Günther Lüders can be seen in a double role as a grenadier, who looks so confusingly similar to a major, which leads to numerous entanglements. Other leading roles include Ruth Stephan and Beppo Brem as well as Chariklia Baxevanos and Michael Cramer .
action
In Roderichsburg the regular military maneuvers there are coming to an end. Again, the organization of the annual maneuvering ball is in the hands of the landlady Käthe von Evenstroh. This means that everyone on the estate is involved in the preparations and has plenty to do, especially the resolute housekeeper Emma. But Evi, Mrs. von Evenstroh's niece, also has to make her contribution. When it comes to billeting, Käthe von Evenstroh is surprised and with a little palpitations that Egon von Worringen, a childhood sweetheart whom the landlady has never completely forgotten, will take over command of the troops on Evenstroh during the final maneuver .
Evi von Evenstroh also has her problems in matters of the heart that she has only entrusted to the warm-hearted Emma up to now. The young lady has entered into a pen friendship with a young man who calls himself Romeo under the name Juliet, but does not yet know what he looks like. But there is also the little volunteer, who Evi already likes. What speaks against him in her eyes is that her aunt sees him as Evi's future husband. What Evi doesn't know, however, is that Hüftlein has already lost his heart to a young lady who calls herself Julia and with whom he has written letters.
And then there is Emma, who has to feed the billeted people and who always gets her heart pounding when she has to do with the Buttermilk Grenadier. Something develops between him and the housekeeper Emma, which Buttermilk, endowed with wit and common sense, considers serious business. However, Sergeant Hinterhuber is also very interested in Emma and harasses Buttermilk wherever he can while on duty. Since Buttermilk and Hüftlein agree on Hinterhuber, they think up acts of revenge together, which in turn increase Hinterhuber's anger even more and make him resort to further painful measures against buttermilk.
There were numerous mix-ups and entanglements when Major von Worringen arrived; the buttermilk was like one egg to another. Again and again one is mistaken for the other and has to take what was actually intended for the other. But Hüllein is also mistaken and thinks the maid is Juliet , just as Evi thinks the adjutant Brothusen is Romeo . In the end, all the threads untangle. Buttermilk comes from a misstep by Major Egon von Worringen's father, which explains the striking similarity. Of course, Käthe von Evenstroh gets her Egon, Evi her little hip, who is also her Romeo, and Emma her buttermilk, in civilian life a hairdresser, plus a hairdressing salon. Only Hinterhuber comes away empty-handed, since he doesn't get anything for the heart, but at least a promotion to sergeant-major.
