Television adaptation of the Dutch musical from 1975 about riotous youth.

Joep is a piano tuner, and not the best in his profession. His fiancee ends their relationship and Joep wants to end his life. Then he meets Dorien. They fall in love, but they must deal with some issues from the past--like an ex-lover and a hitman.

In 1811, hilarity ensues when a corrupt Dutch colonel mistakes a quack dentist for one of Napoleon's inspectors general.
