In post-war Austria, young, handsome country lad Konrad Ludwig (
Michael York) charms his way into a butler position at the castle of the widowed (and destitute) Countess von Ornstein (
Angela Lansbury). He is soon running the entire household--and all the bedrooms, as he starts affairs with the countess' son Helmuth (
Anthony Higgins) and Anneliese Pleschke (
Heidelinde Weis), the daughter of wealthy businessman Herr Pleschke (
John Gill). From this, Konrad decides to get his two lovers to marry each other and restore the countess' finances.
