Description An Edwardian musical comedy. A group of Germanic soldiers, the Blue Hussars, leave their barracks in a town lacking in young women, and take up new billets in Gottenberg where there is a shortage of young men. This results in 2 or 3 romances, mistaken identities, and a good deal of clowning around.
