War mobilization in 1939: the clumsy Läppli, a loudmouth and busybody, is imprisoned for anti-military speeches. When he is later promoted to officer's orderly, he continues his mischievous behavior.

His environment, the officers' staff area, is portrayed with irony, but without malicious scorn.Read moreLess
