L'Allemagne en 1948 au moment du carnaval : Le jour du Weiberfastnacht, le tailleur Anton Wibbel tente d'échanger un gramophone contre des cigarettes avec des occupants britanniques. Le policier militaire écossais Bosty McMillar lui offre deux bouteilles de whisky et le ramène chez lui. Anton oublie les deux bouteilles dans la voiture et trouve rapidement la manivelle pour le gramophone dans la poche de sa veste. Le soir, Bosty en kilt apporte les bouteilles. La femme d’Anton, Fin, à son tour, vient de se déguiser en sorcière pour se plonger dans l’animation de carnaval avec ses amis, même si Anton, jaloux, n’est pas très enthousiaste à ce sujet.

The film begins in 1813 after the phase of the Napoleonic Wars known in German as the Befreiungskriege (War of Liberation). The opening scenes show Prussian Landwehr and volunteers marching down the streets of Breslau through enthusiastic crowds. This is followed by a dialogue between King Frederick William III of Prussia and Count August von Gneisenau, in which Gneisenau explains that the siege of Kolberg taught the importance of citizen armies. Ending with the admonition that kings who cannot lead must abdicate, the scene switches to Vienna in 1806 to show the abdication of the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II of Austria, whom the script has Gneisenau call "an Emperor who abandoned the German people in their hour of need".
