The regal personages agree to disagree over a certain move, and in an instant they have sacrificed all their dignity and engaged in physical encounter. They are separated, but friendship has been severed. Fifteen years later Prince Karl of Rodenkurst leaves for college. About this time, Baron Rufhaus of Steinfeldt invites Baron Helswasser of Rodenkurst to his castle to devise some way of restoring the erstwhile friendly relations. They decide that a marriage of Prince Karl with Princess Victoria of Steinfeldt is the logical step, and set about to effect the important move. Victoria overhears their plans, and decides to go to the college incognito, and work as a waitress, so as to see what the Prince looks like. Accordingly, she changes costumes with her maid, and leaves the castle surreptitiously. Arriving at the college town, she gets a place as a waitress at an inn near the university. As she steps out of the carriage in front of the place, the boys gather around, and she is not a little embarrassed. At this juncture Prince Karl arrives and rescues her from the boys. Upon asking the innkeeper who her rescuer is, she receives the answer that he is the Prince of Rodenkurst. From then on Prince Karl spends a good share of his time at the inn where he can keep an eye on Victoria, with whom he has become infatuated. Soon after the barons arrive and put the proposition up to Karl. He refuses flatly to marry the Princess, whom he has not seen, and instructs the barons to inform his father that he loves only one Victoria, and will not marry the Princess. The barons use their persuasive powers in vain. When Karl tells Victoria of the barons' visit, and its purpose, she makes him promise to go to Steinfeldt to the reception to see what the Princess looks like anyway. Then she quickly departs from the town. On the night of the reception Karl waits impatiently on the floor for the Princess. She enters in all her splendor. He does not even turn his head until he hears her voice in his ear, "Will you have a stein of beer?" He turns. It is his own Victoria. He then is content to marry his peasant princess.
