Nachdem die beiden Vagabunden Robert und Bertram aus dem Gefängnis geflohen sind, machen sie im Gasthof »Silberner Schwan« die Bekanntschaft der Wirtstochter Lenchen. Da ihr Vater in Geldnot ist, soll Lenchen den Gläubiger Biedermeier statt des geliebten Rekruten Michel heiraten. Um das zu verhindern, reisen Robert und Bertram in die Hauptstadt und gelangen unter falschem Namen ins Haus des jüdischen Kommerzienrats Ipelmeyer, bei dem Biedermeier hoch verschuldet ist. Beim abendlichen Kostümfest stehlen die Landstreicher den Familienschmuck und übergeben ihn Lenchens Vater. Lenchen und Michel sind vereint, Robert und Bertram fliehen mit einem Fesselballon direkt in den Himmel.

After the two vagabonds Robert and Bertram flee from prison, they get to know the innkeeper’s daughter Lenchen at the “Silver Swan” Inn.  Because her father is in desperate need of money, Lenchen is to marry the creditor Biedermeier instead of her beloved military recruit Michel.  In order to prevent that, Robert and Bertram travel to the capital and, under false names, manage to make their way into the house of the Jewish commercial advisor Ipelmeyer, to whom Biedermeier is deep in debt.  During an evening costume ball, the bums steal the family jewels and give them to Lenchen’s father.  Lenchen and Michael get married and Robert and Bertram flee in a balloon into the sky.

this is one of those films that you either get and laugh continually  or just shake your head at a couple of flakes!!  these  two silly-nillys are very talented and somehow walk the line between satire and embarrassment. the film technically is top-notch.... sets and cinematography are way above average.... I'm very surprised that the very critical mr. Goebbels let this one be released to the german public since Robert and Bertram have a rather unusual relationship .. especially in the year 1939 !
