content
The famous artist Harry Peters is rehearsing his new number for the appearance in the Varieté Tivoli . He is assisted in this by Hella Stoll, the daughter of a befriended artist couple, for whom Harry has taken on guardianship since her parents had a fatal accident years ago. An old friend of Harry's, the Viennese agent Franz Hofer, who also knows Hella from childhood, surprisingly appears at the premiere. He immediately notices that Hella is hopelessly in love with her foster father, which he doesn't seem to notice. At the same time, Harry is swarmed by the beautiful Vera Leander, to whom, after hesitating at first, he falls for skin and hair. Only after an almost fatal accident during a trapeze act does he come to and tries to break away from her. When he realizes that the disappointed Hella has apparently run away with the magician Morelli, he jealously begins to look for him. He finally finds him in his cloakroom, where he dyes his hair. To his surprise, Morelli turns out to be the former managing director of the Stoll circus. He had disappeared with the cash register at the time, and the excitement around him had ultimately led to the fatal accident of Hella's parents. After he finally handed him over to the police, Harry continues to search for Hella. He finally found it with his friend Hofer, who arranged a clarifying discussion. In the end, Harry and Hella become a happy couple.

Reviews
- Lexicon of international films : "Jack of all trades Harry Piel shines in his 100th film as a versatile trainer and equilibrist."
- Karlheinz Wendtland in Beloved Kintopp : “In Harry Piel's hundredth (!) Film, too, the animals are of course the most important actors. Dealing with animals was his domain; nobody copied that easily. "
