Synopsis by Hal Erickson

It was hard to find a Hungarian film in the late 1930s that didn't star matinee idol Antal Pager. In Beszallasolas (Billeting), Pager is cast as Hussar lieutenant Tibor, who in civilian life had been a lawyer. When a love note bearing Tibor's letterhead is discovered in the pocket of a coat, the lieutenant is suspected of carrying on an affair with a dress-shop salesgirl (Manya Kiss). Actually, the billet-doux was written by Tibor's law clerk (Julius Kabos), but try telling that to our hero's fuming colonel (Gabriel Rajnay). By the time the truth comes out, Tibor has fallen in love with Margitka, the colonel's daughter, which somehow leads to a happy ending for everyone in the film.
