The film is an adaptation of the 1891 operetta Der Vogelhändler by composer Carl Zeller, with a libretto by Moritz West and Ludwig Held, though it features few of the original songs, using them mostly instrumentally or in the background. The plot follows Adam, a Tyrolean bird seller in 18th-century Rhineland, who hopes to marry his beloved Christl, the daughter of a postmaster; to secure his future, she arranges for him to perform at court, but complications arise when she is mistakenly suspected of having an affair with a philandering prince.
