Waltz War

The royal court musical director of Great Britain is on his way to Vienna. He has a rather difficult mission to carry out: He is to locate the best waltz band with the best waltz composer and director and bring them back with him to His Majesty in London. So that he might accomplish his mission more easily, Ilonka has been placed at his disposal, a former "puszta girl", who became a star in the imperial ballet in Vienna. Arriving in Vienna, Sir Philips is faced with yet another problem: the band he has chosen is a real mess of high drama: The timpanist Gustl is in love with the daughter of the bandmaster Lanner; always misses his entrances because of it and is eventually fired.
