Popular joker, wheeler-dealer and heckler Till Eulenspiegel cleverly exposes the stupid greed of Lübeck burgomaster Klaas Wüllenwever, who vows to revenge the humiliation in order to restore his shaken authority in city council, as he plans to demand a plenipotentiary mandate to wage war on the main Hansa city's Ostee rivals, including the Danish realm and Dutch republic. As a trap, Klaas orders Till's patrician first ex Kathrin incarcerated, while his soldiers fail to hunt down elusive disguise-master Till. Kathrin sends to Till her cocky but resourceful kid daughter Marie, who escapes from the nunnery orphanage to commandeer Till as 'her helper' to free mother. After a daring plan to get Copernicus's master key invention, they return to Lübeck, where it's truth time, changing Till's and other lives forever.
