Based on the play Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw

Lieutenant Bummerli, a Swiss mercenary in the Serbian army, takes refuge from his Bulgarian enemies in the house of a Bulgarian general (in the daughter's bedroom actually), he sets hearts a-flutter, almost compromises three ladies and then ruins the daughter's wedding to a Bulgarian soldier-hero by being recognized as the fugitive! This is just as well because he and Nadina, the daughter, were destined for each other anyway.

George Bernard Shaw, author of the source play, only gave permission to the adapt it on three conditions: none of his dialogue nor character names were used, the show was advertised as a parody, and he would receive no monetary compensation.
