action

When the celebrated singer and revue star of the Palast Theater Myriam Esneh cannot be matched with a tenor of the stature she has demanded, she disappears without a trace. Only a letter remains with the categorical demand that she come back as soon as someone is found. Now there are some tenors, but it is known that the diva makes the highest demands on a singing partner. Nonetheless, both the director of the Palast Theater, Hannibal Möller, as well as its secretary “Leporello” and the agent Pressburger try to find an adequate tenor.

Myriam Esneh, who fled to the secluded, idyllic alpine village of Killiansreutte, made the acquaintance of the pool attendant and sports instructor Hans Soltau at the same time. It is inevitable that the two of them get to know each other better and Myriam learns that Hans has completed training as a singer - and he has a tenor voice. Since he could not get any engagement, he earns his living, initially in his current job, as he hopes, temporarily. For Myriam, a woman quick to make decisions, it is immediately clear that Hans should definitely be her new partner on stage - but not only there.

The diva sends a telegram to Hannibal Möller, who also appears immediately, but not alone, in his tow are both his secretary and his extremely resolute wife Ulrike. Quiet in the mountain idyll is quickly over, because the theater people collide with the Killiansreuttern more than once, which often leads to comical situations. Especially with the Bavarian hotelier Ignaz Pointner and the couple in love Wastl and Kathi, the three newcomers keep clashing. In the end, however, Möller is also convinced that Hans Soltau is exactly the right person and that the revue can only be a great success with him and his star. And that's how it is, but beyond her professional life, Myriam has also found the man for life.
