. . .. .. . . . Once again, the Austrian government finds itself in a financial crisis and comes upon the idea of temporarily leasing some Swiss banks the customs functions on the border in exchange for an upfront payment. Naturally, this arrangement is to be kept absolutely secret. After having wrapped up the negotiations, the Swiss representative returns home by train. However, by doing so, he must pass through customs at Feldkirch. And at Feldkirch is a rather conscientious customs inspector by the name of Laurenz Hasenhuttl, who very much wants to be promoted to chief customs inspector.

In his excess of zeal, he mistakes the Swiss banking representative and the beloved of the Swiss finance minister, who is traveling with him, for a sought after pair of con artists. When he discovers the papers discussing the customs arrangement --- something completely outlandish, as far as he s concerned --- his belief that they re criminals is strengthened.
