Synopsis

[edit]

In a fictional European country just before the First World War, two womanising guards officers flirt endlessly with women. However, when Peter von Salis goes too far and compromises young noblewoman Bettina von Brixen, he is forced by the king to marry her. Meanwhile his friend Nikolaus is involved with the free-spirited dancer Ninon.
