Grand Duchess Ottilie and her servants are in the middle of preparing for Princess Aurora's birthday. The castle is being serviced, the kitchen is steaming and all the rooms are lordly furnished. Kitchen boy Johann feels the great desire to be one of those "up there". He does not notice that he is loved, namely by Lisbeth, the maid of Princess Aurora, a boyish beauty. The funny cooks Frau Sorge and Frau Glück spend the whole day at the steaming stove, plucking chickens and peeling potatoes. What nobody knows: They are fairies part-time and have certain magical powers. They have been in their care - unused and slightly dusty - for many years: the galoshes of happiness. Of course they didn't miss Johann's wish and Lisbeth's secret love. And also not that the two would be a good match if only Johann wasn't so blind. When Princess Aurora appears at the castle for her birthday party, it is love at first sight for Johann. But she is out of reach for him. By chance he puts on the galoshes of luck and immediately his wish comes true. The simple Johann becomes Prince Ludwig. Although he does not know about the magical power of the galoshes, he tries to approach Aurora as a nobleman. With success. But since Ludwig now has the appearance of a prince, but not the knowledge of the rules of etiquette and rituals of the nobility, he threatens to be exposed. Lisbeth of all people tries to keep him safe from it again and again. Mrs. Sorge and Mrs. Glück soon notice that something has gone wrong. But how do you explain the situation to Lisbeth, who often asks about Johann? The longer Ludwig is in the world of fine people, the more he notices how little he has in common with it. Aurora's superficial talk and her arrogant behavior make him less and less sympathetic to her. Strangely enough, Lisbeth now often comes to mind. But before he can understand his true feelings, the catastrophe happens. Prince Ludwig is exposed as a con man and is supposed to end up in dungeon. Only the galoshes of luck can save him. But in the meantime they have changed hands and granted the servant Oskar a wish. Ludwig can only hope that he will get her back so that he can convince Lisbeth of his love as Johann Lisbeth.
