Plot.
Once a year, Elector August the little one in Biberstein has the desire to escape his government business: under the pretext of hunting for Kreuzlingen, he is in fact on his way to Paris to explore the nightlife there. In his place, he sends his nephew Count Stanislaus to his hunting lodge. However, the Electress is suspicious and drives with her chamber maid incognito to Kreuzlingen to check whether her husband really goes on Sauhatz with lacquer shoes. This is the beginning for a dizzying dance of amorous confusions and confusions, into which the Christel of the Post and her treasure of the bird traders Adam are also drawn.
