Plot
Mnchheim, owner of a riding school, had his ward Friederike raised to become a "Fritz" according to strictly male standards. This female Fritz can ride horses, fencing, swearing and drinking. He even wins a chase race against cavalry officer Henry de Voss.
With a heavy heart Friederike is then sent to a girls' boarding school by her uncle. There she causes all sorts of confusion and flees disguised as a boy. She smuggles herself into a barracks of the operetta-like Sonn-Schein-Armee, which, among other things, is equipped with individual women's service. There she meets her tournament opponent again, who falls in love with her when he accidentally sees her in women's clothing. He sees through their game and puts them in a number of tricky situations. So Friederike discovers her feminine side after all, so that her lover can win her over completely.
