Plot
The ordinary seaman Nils, played by Rolf Just Nilsen, is mistaken for the pop singer Dickie Dons, also played by Rolf Just Nilsen, on board the car ferry from Kiel to Oslo. Nils quickly settles into his new role and is delighted to be able to drink champagne with the captain. However, it becomes more difficult as time goes on—not least because Dickie Dons turns out to be secretly married to his secretary.{{cite web |title=To på topp |url=https://www.nb.no/filmografi/show?id=792512 |website=Norsk filmografi |publisher=Nasjonalbiblioteket |access-date=September 3, 2023}}
