Plot summary

During World War II the landowner Bruzell from Knättarp travels by train and falls asleep. A German agent puts a secret document into his inside pocket, just before the security police step on board and arrest him. Bruzell arrives home at his mansion, where a number of military personnel are stationed under the command of Second Lieutenant Svensson who is more interested in Bruzell's daughter Inga than in soldiering. That is, until he learns that secret meeting is to be held by a few local Nazi collaborators. Svensson and his second in command Sture Letterström goes to the meeting disguised as senior Nazi commanders and learns of the missing document. In the tangled twists and turns to find it Sture is persuaded to dress up as the woman Märta once more.
