A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured by a group of mountain bandits, thus setting in motion a madcap farce that is Lubitsch at his most unrestrained. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire of military life from one of the great comedy filmmakers.

The two best buddies Ernst and Albert are pursuing the same girl. The girl leads them onto the ice in the form of an ice rink, where the two act awkwardly as non-skaters. But even on the ice rink, neither of them wants to give in, and the fight for the girl becomes increasingly intense. Suddenly, the girl's enraged groom appears and puts an abrupt and powerful end to the duel. This decision, imposed by a third party, leads to the two fighting cocks Ernst and Albert reconciling. Lost.
