Plot[]

The film is set in Poland at the beginning of the 18th century. The country is in a state of upheaval and is being brought into turmoil by revolutionary forces. Locked up in a Polish prison, students Simon and Jan have to play a role of a prince and his apprentice at the behest of the Polish governor of Krakow, Colonel Ollendorf. While performing as such, they are able to trick the officer and conquer the hearts of countess Nowalska's daughters, Laura and Bronislava. Following the play, even Colonel Ollendorf doesn't go away empty-handed, and, at the end of this cheerful story, gets the Countess as his wife.
