action
Prince Eberhard of Prussia and the Russian czar's niece Nina Charlotta are supposed to be married off against their will. Eberhard then flees to his friend, Countess Lahousen, where he lives incognito as a painter in her gazebo. Nina, in turn, breaks out of the institute of the high nobility in Geneva and also flees, coincidentally to Schüsselbrunn, where Eberhard is also staying. He introduces himself to her as the painter and gardener Eberhard, while she pretends to be the envoy's daughter, Katherina. In fact, the emperors of Austria , the German Empire and Russia are expected to appear in Schüsselbrunn shortly to go hunting and find a bridegroom for Nina. Before that, however, the ambassadors of the countries arrive in the village. The Austrian ambassador is accompanied incognito by the incompetent Kuno Möslacher, who is the only one of the company to come from Schüsselbrunn and who is now indispensable because of his local knowledge when he is supposed to explore the village incognito. Above all, the ominous painter Eberhard puzzles the gendarmes of the village and is considered suspicious.
Kuno is not much help, he is very jealous and believes that Eberhard has a relationship with his lover Liesl. The ambassadors, on the other hand, are irritated because the future stay of the three emperors, classified as secret, is already known throughout the village, because the village postal worker generally reads the letters. In the village, a fight breaks out among the innkeepers to find accommodation for the emperors, as every innkeeper would like to call his inn in the future the three-emperor's court .
In the meantime, Eberhard and Nina have met in the village. They do not know who each other is, but after an initial dislike , they enjoy each other. Due to a chain of unfortunate circumstances, Kuno and the village commander-general believe after a while that Eberhard is a dangerous criminal who is planning an assassination attempt on the emperors. When Nina finds out about this, she wants to warn Eberhard. Liesl also rushed to Eberhard to warn him against the jealous Kuno and to persuade him to flee. Eberhard, however, stays, even if a fireworks display happens to go off at the most inopportune moment and makes him suspicious once more.
The Russian envoy Petrowsky showed Nina the pictures of the men asking for her hand. Eberhard's picture accidentally fell next to the pile and was only found later. The emperors have already arrived and Eberhard has finally given up his masquerade. First Liesl learns who he really is, and later also Kuno and Köpnick, who, however, have already massively disrupted the imperial hunt with their over-zeal. Nina is shown Eberhard's picture and she reacts angrily. While Kuno and Liesl are reconciled, Eberhard also seeks out Nina and they both recognize that they are inclined to each other and reconcile as well.

criticism
"Silly situational comedy, colorful costumes, the traditional costume festival and some beautiful nature shots merge into a cliché-laden home film," summarized the film service . Cinema described the film as "Heimatschmalz from the Austrian mountains". Gertraud Steiner saw a parallel in content to the film Sissi , which appeared at the end of 1955, and to the Heimat film Die Försterchristel , which appeared in 1952, but thought the film was "staged in a somewhat clumsy, operetta-like manner".
