action

Fredi and Ed, who live together in a small room, are two young pianists who, however, have to put their artistic skills aside in order to earn money in a prosaic way. So they work quite listlessly in an instrument shop. Since both are very handsome - Fredi dark-haired, Edi blond - they have no problem ending up with the women. Often they even roll the dice to determine who should go out with which lady. A good friend of the two men is Ernst Vogel, who works for the radio, who believes that Edi and Fredi are quite talented as musicians. So he secretly takes a sample of her piano skills and submits it to a radio competition. When the boys promptly win the first prize, the two friends and competitors are very happy: They have won a trip to the snow paradise of St. Moritz. Fredi and Edi want to let it rip here despite their tiny wallets.

The men want to party in the dance bar of the Royal Engadin. A little later in their hotel, they meet a stranger who seems mysterious to them and who is whispered that she is a real Turkish princess. She bears the mysterious name Jiji da Costa and promptly turns the heads of the two Germans. Even after she revealed that she really has the very down-to-earth name Elfriede Piepenbrink, Edi and Fredi can't take their eyes off her. She works as a mannequin and is supposed to present 24 model dresses here. That the young lady can also sing along the way and that the hormones of her two admirers begin to boil over with the lines of song "Wait until your star turns / and don't lose heart / Because as soon as your star turns / you will be fine again" . In the end, all of it is of no use: When Elfriede meets the third member of the group, the radio employee Ernst, and rings bells on the tape, the two kiss, and the model is certain: I can't marry all of them, but he can!

Reviews

Der Spiegel stated in 1952: “A holiday episode in the Swiss snow ... with some virginal gags and a cheeky, cheerful dialogue by Hans Wolff, quickly wound down. (...) Syncope provided Peter Kreuder, tame as usual. "

The film service gave a succinct verdict: "Light musical entertainment."
