HD-Soldat Läppli
The good-hearted HD Läppli manages to provoke his superiors with his naivety and thus keep those around him on their toes. General mobilization in 1939: clumsy grocery vendor Theophil Läppli (Alfred Rasser) is mistakenly imprisoned for making anti-military speeches. As a result, he arrives late at the mobilization site, where he is immediately sent to a psychiatrist because of the feather blanket he brought with him and his loose mouth. The baffled doctors promote the patriotically inclined, extremely talkative and obviously slightly crazy fusilier to an auxiliary service company as an officer's cleaner. And so HD Läppli ends up in Schaffhausen, where he is assigned to the French lieutenant Clermont (Bernard Junod). Läppli only needs a few hours to throw his superior's life into chaos: Clermont's canary finds peace in the mouth of the house cat, the landlady wants to sue because Läppli has attacked her with a gun, and Miss Alice Brodbeck (Editha Nordberg) rebuffs the young officer because Läppli - together with his friend Mislin (Otto Wiesely) - fails in love affairs as a postman. Clermont is transferred to the Jura and has to take his finery with him. But even on the train, HD Läppli drives a general staff officer traveling in civilian clothes up the wall and then pulls the emergency brake.
