The Polish Count and ex-playboy Julian Olinski is preparing to celebrate his wedding to Blanca von Lossin. She however is not satisfied that his past is left behind him and her suspicions seem confirmed when Julian's old flame Gretl turns up and she overhears his confession to his best friend Adolar that married fife might be tedious. Blanca runs off to take refuge with Adolar's uncle and it takes all Gretl and Adolar's wiles and charm to finally bring about the reconciliation of the hapless pair.
