action

Ferdinand Mikosch and Otto Schummrich, like the young Susi Lindinger, Ferdinand's friend, belong to Max Sperling's small theater group. Ferdinand is always jealous of Susi and soon she has enough of it: She refuses to perform and Max's friend Fanny, who is actually responsible for the kitchen, spontaneously steps in and annoys the audience with her singing. When the three dancers called “Prater Elves” also drop out because Max hasn't paid them a fee for a long time, it's all over: Ferdinand, Otto and Max jump in and there is a riot. In the end there is the demolition of the theater by the angry spectators. Susi, in turn, quits. This pleases Rittmeister Gustl von Schöndorn, who recruits Susi as an agent : The Austrian Gustl, together with the Prussian Major Claus Dieter Graf Schnackewitz and the Russian Colonel Fedor Fedorowitsch Ganiew, received the order from the Austrian chief of the secret service Wedel to be their respective rulers at the historic Drei -Kaiser meeting in Ischl to protect. Gustl distrusts Ganiew and Susi is supposed to secretly shadow the colonel. She wins his trust as a chambermaid and after a while is taken with him to Ischl.

Meanwhile, Gustl and his superior, Colonel Ferdinand von Weißenburg-Schwarzeneck, are developing an emergency plan that they call the “Mikosch Plan”. For this three men are necessary and so Ferdinand, Otto and Max are brought to Ischl, where they are supposed to give a guest performance. Instead, the three of them let themselves be infatuated by the charms of the barracks doctor and join the regiment voluntarily . Here they meet Susi, but also Fanny, who meanwhile cooks for the regiment. Not knowing that they are part of a larger plan, they let themselves be fooled for days by the soldier Wokurka, whom they once played a prank on. Only when they secretly want to flee, Gustl lets them in on his plan. They should do their part to ensure the safety of the three heads of state. First, however, they first become waiters.

Wokurka has the three men thrown into the barracks prison when he meets them again. However, the three flee to their wives. However, Max, who fell in love with the barracks doctor, hides in her treatment room. So he overhears the doctor talking to Ganiev and the two discussing their plan to kill the heads of state in more detail. The doctor hands Ganiew a bomb that is built into an alarm clock and is only supposed to explode shortly after the alarm goes off. Max tells the others about the plan and the bomb, which Ganiew hears. He secretly exchanges the alarm clock, so that Susi brings the other one the wrong alarm clock. The attempt to bring the alarm clock back to Ganiew fails: Susi is captured by Ganiew and the doctor. Ferdinand, Otto and Max are investigating further alarm clocks, but Ganiew has long since got the original back into his possession. Only now does the “Mikosch Plan” come into force. Ferdinand, Otto and Max dress up as the three heads of state and appear at a reception. Ganiev activates the bomb, but it does no major damage. Ganiew and the doctor are arrested and Susi, who was in their power, can be freed unharmed.
