action
Somewhere in the German province: Chief Accountant Pichler is supposed to hand over the wages for a business transaction to the boss of his company, in truth a cunning fraudster. Since Director Härtel is in a great hurry, instead of the bag with the money, he takes another one in which Pichler got his breakfast from his wife Ludmilla. Immediately afterwards, the boss goes off and on. Pichler, a hyper-correct man, notices this and immediately wants to follow his boss to Hamburg with the wages that have been left behind. With him in tow he has his subordinate colleague accountant Vittgers.
The “pit of sin” of the big city with its all kinds of temptations makes the two otherwise cautious number jugglers more than reckless, and they knock a lot of the supervised money on the head with a touch of joie de vivre. Only Pichler's daughter Anneliese can prevent worse things and save the rest of the money from crooks and light ladies. Even the company boss Härtel can no longer get the money with which he wanted to set himself apart. In view of so much honesty and trustworthiness, chief accountant Pichler is ultimately chosen as the successor to his arrested ex-boss. There is also a happy ending in private. Pichler's loyal friend Vittgers is going to marry his good daughter.

Reviews
“This story of the two accountants from the provinces who go astray against all intentions goes back to a comedy by the famous theater man Alfred Polgar. What he wrote with a sharp pen was apparently edited with a rather blunt red pencil for the script directed by Hans Quest. Still, you can't be outright angry, because Theo Lingen and Georg Thomalla don't give you the time. They deal with every "piece of clothing" and have partners like Ruth Stephan and Edith Hancke. These names alone are a program. "
In the lexicon of international films it says: " Film vacillations without further reaching ambitions."
