In Berlin and nearby Knötteritz, silent-film producer and actor Adalbert Musenfett hopes to cast himself as Napoleon in a film about the Battle of Leipzig. The farce also involves an Italian tragedienne and a tobacco-miller’s daughter who is meant to play his love interest.
Swiss mercenary Bumerli escapes a battle by climbing into Nadina’s bedroom. He is no heroic soldier, and his ammunition pouch holds chocolate rather than cartridges. Nadina is charmed by him, while learning that her fiancé Alexius is not the hero she imagined. Six months later Bumerli returns, and a chain of misunderstandings reveals Nadina’s jealousy and love for him. Bumerli is also revealed to be the son of a wealthy Swiss businessman, and the couple unite.
