March for the emperor

A young country girl Station Hübner goes to Vienna to see Aunt Teresa. She accidentally falls on a masquerade ball at the Radetzky Palace and attracts the attention of Baron Zorndorf, who mistook Station for a countess in a Salzburg peasant costume. After the ball, the Baron in his crew delivers the Station to the bakery, which is operated by the aunt. During the parade with the palace orchestra, the station’s attention was attracted by military musician Willy Jurek from the 4th Imperial Teutonic Regiment, and Jurek, fascinated by the beauty of the girl from the bakery, was speechless and stopped dead, forgetting about his big drum. After the parade, he looked in embarrassment at the aunt's bakery and secretly made a date for the Station.

Baron Zorndorf decided to pay a visit to a young “Countess”, met a real Countess, whom he asked for his niece's hands. For the evening, the Countess immediately appointed a reception on the occasion of her niece's engagement. The aunt Station, who had been widowed eight years ago, also turned out to be a fan — the court councilor, Gofviert, in order to buy salted bagels for the emperor as usual. They are the best at the aunt’s bakery, and the emperor has been buying them for ten years. On her birthday, the court counselor is determined to arrange a date for the breadmaker Theresa. In spite of the fact that the crazy hairdresser Svoboda burned Goofvirtu's beard, the meeting went superbly in the tavern in Prater , where the famous singer Hansi Führer performs. Imperial court official Gofviert and the bakery woman Teresa have tender feelings for each other, but they cannot get married due to the difference in social status.

Talented and passionate about music, Yurek composed a new military march and performed it with his fellow Teutonic regiment in the same tavern in Prater. The march was appreciated by the local public, but for appearing at the time of the dismissal in a tavern, despite the prohibition of the authorities, his entire unit was "Teutons" threatened with punishment. To help Jurek, the Station hid in salted bagels intended for Emperor Franz Joseph , a score of the Teutonic march and a letter to the emperor. The insolence of the Station results in the emperor’s refusal to deliver bagels from Aunt Theresa’s bakery. The station went to an audience with the emperor in the Hofburg in the Gofvirta carriage, and this scene was seen by the jealous Jurek. An audience station finally told the emperor the truth about what had happened. Franz Joseph generously appointed Aunt Station the official imperial supplier, which meant for the aunt and her beloved court counselor the opportunity to get married. At the impressive parade in the presence of the Austrian emperor and the German Kaiser, the Teutonic regiment performed a new regimental march, and Jurek received high praise for his essay. The monarchs called him and Stationi to personally thank the author of the march. All barriers to love and happiness Station and Willy eliminated.
