Il fascinoso tenente Niki deve rinunciare alla bella e frizzante violinista Franzi perché il dovere lo chiama alle nozze con la figlia del re, bruttina e sgraziata. Franzi rinuncerà al suo tenente: sarà anche tanto generosa da consigliare la rivale che, seguendo i suoi suggerimenti, si trasformerà in una donna seducente e irriconoscibile.
