Innkeeper Kohlhiesel has two daughters whom he wants to marry off. Younger daughter Gretel is pretty and popular; no shortage of suitors there, then. But older daughter Liesel is a hellion who has no interest in dressing nicely or pleasing men. Naturally, no man will have her ... and tradition in 19th-century Bavaria requires that Kohlhiesel's younger daughter cannot marry before the elder daughter. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

The truly quaint Lubitsch. This is a film that is far removed from the classic idea of his, Henna's, and Emil's work. The whole thing is just a series of incredibly crude humor to the point where splinters can't fly through the air. On the other hand, under the influence of mass projection, even this can be appreciated with boisterous laughter, with or without Danish subtitles. I just marvel at the variation in the acting ability of the mother of German cinema, who managed to play the sisters, Liesl and Gretel, who are so very different from each other. If Jannings had already been appreciated as a master of disguise, now film history is waiting for her.
