action
Jupp Grapsch, a robust man around fifty, is a typical upstart of the economic miracle . His wife Lisbeth, who is basically a simple person, does not feel at home in the unusual wealth, but still stands by her husband. Even when Jupp leaves her alone because of the extravagant Nina Sonntag and doesn't come home until three in the morning, Lisbeth accepts this. But when Jupp lies to her and insults her deeply, she loses patience and hits him in the face. At first shocked, Jupp soon sees the incident as an opportunity to finally bring about a divorce.
Heidi Grapsch, the lively daughter of the house, does not take the incident seriously at first, especially since she knew about her father's lover for a long time. But this gets lost in the thought that Lisbeth is no longer fine enough. While his wife is strictly against a divorce, Jupp is now doing everything possible to end the marriage. He hires the unscrupulous Robert Grothe, who is supposed to provide the grounds for divorce against payment. Using the pretext of being a business friend of Grapsch, he invites Lisbeth to take a boat trip and unexpectedly throws her around her neck. A photographer, who is also paid, takes corresponding photos of evidence, which Jupp presents to the court a little later.
Lisbeth, however, still believes that Jupp is basically an honest person who has only been changed by all the money to his disadvantage. When he openly admits that he paid Grothe and the photographer, a world collapses for Lisbeth. Now she demands the separation, and Jupp is divorced guilty. And Jupp soon finds out that Nina Sonntag is cheating on him with Robert Grothe of all people. When his long-time chauffeur quits, the abandoned Grapsch is a broken man who regrets his actions.

Reviews
“The prerequisites for this problem area are not exactly typical: A man of boorish behavior, whom the economic miracle has washed into the position of a millionaire industrial captain, wants to divorce his wife because she no longer meets his requirements; on the other hand, his claims do not go any further than to marry a noble whore from possibly even simpler circumstances. The cast increases the credibility: Gert Fröbe as Parvenu arouses emotion and pity; Luise Ullrich has to act too clumsy, and Christiane Nielsen as a concubine is badly oversubscribed. Paper social criticism with cinema props: high society, love in swimwear, flashback to homecomers and rubble women, and also a vase that flies through the glass door. "
"A real-life and contemporary subject that dissecting the fate of a marriage and which compensates for certain unpleasantnesses through selected cast."
"Critique of time" based on a magazine novel. "
