Champagne is to blame for everything: Before the arrogant Eisenstein begins his sentence, he indulges himself at a party hosted by Prince Orlofsky. Meanwhile, his wife Rosalinde entertains her lover Alfred at home, until Alfred is unfortunately taken to prison instead of Eisenstein. In what is perhaps the most famous operetta, decadent Viennese life unfolds in a double-edged dance of champagne-fueled mistaken identities, masked affairs, and bourgeois hypocrisy.

The "White Horse Inn" is a place of longing for all kinds of different characters. The waiter Leopold is trying to win the favor of his boss, the landlady Josepha Vogelhuber, who has her eye on her regular customer, lawyer Dr. Siedler. He, in turn, is interested in Ottilie, who is staying at the "White Horse Inn" with her father, the Berlin knitwear manufacturer Giesecke. Sigismund Sülzheimer, the son of Giesecke's competitor, has also arrived. He is to marry Ottilie in order to put an end to the legal dispute between the two companies. Sigismund, however, prefers to try to win the favor of the charming Klärchen, the daughter of poor Professor Hinzelmann.
