Councillor Tobler, a millionaire owner of factories, banks and department stores, wins second prize in his own company's competition: ten days' holiday at the Grandhotel Bruckbeuren. To his family's dismay, he travels as an ordinary man named Schulze, and the game of mistaken identities unleashes a comedy of errors.

Usual reading for German students, due to its accessible language and humorous tone.
