Princess Marie Christine (
Kaethe von Nagy) doesn't want to marry the man picked out for her by her parents. Likewise, aristocrat Lt. Von Conradi (
Willy Fritsch) balks at the notion of an arranged marriage. Now the scenes shifts to a costume ball: Princess Marie pretends to be a humble manicurist, while the Lieutenant poses as a delicatessen clerk. They fall in love -- and after this, nothing quite turns out as expected. Co-scripted by no less than
Billy Wilder, Ihre Hoheit Befielhlt (Her Majesty Commands) was remade as the 1933
Janet Gaynor musical
