Millöcker's ‘Italian’ operetta, with a distinctly Viennese flavour, revolves around the clever innkeeper Benozzo, who refuses to let the corrupt mayor and his henchmen thwart his successful trade in smuggled goods. By spreading rumours, he resurrects the notorious and terrifying robber Gasparone ... The last Austrian film by Paryla, who subsequently moved to East Berlin.
