action

The young orphan Dany is on the eve of her wedding , has just bought an expensive wedding dress and now has to learn that her fiancé is a marriage swindler who has disappeared with all of her savings. Firmly counting on the marriage, Dany has not only given notice of her Munich apartment, but also of her job and is now without anything. Your last resort is to return the wedding dress in order to have at least some money.

The next day she goes to the Pratt fashion store, where she meets the overburdened managing director Schnattke. After the chief secretary is dismissed, all office work is left to him. Dany, who just wants to return her dress, has to answer a few calls for Schnattke and is therefore mistaken for the new secretary by chief designer Hannes Pratt . Even when the mistake is cleared up, Hannes insists on Dany as his new secretary and she accepts.

After a short time, she is hopelessly overwhelmed - less with office work than with coordinating the numerous love affairs of her boss. It's always Dany who has to reschedule or cancel meetings, as Hannes likes to avoid these unpleasant tasks. Since she regularly works overtime for him, her own private life is neglected. This is all the more annoying for Dany, after all, she met a likeable man in Wolfgang, the brother of the mannequin Billy, even if she never wanted to fall in love again after the great disappointment with her fiancé. Hannes, in turn, tells her at dinner together that he has fallen in love with her.

When Hannes' first great love Helen, who left him at the time and got married richly in the USA , announced herself in Munich, Hannes was in a bind. In order not to appear too hurt, he had written Helen over the past three years that he was married himself. Now that she wants to visit him, the fraud threatens to come to light. At first he claims that his wife has gone away, will be back the next day and then wants to go to Venice with him on her birthday . It turns out that Helen and her husband also want to travel to Venice the next day and even live in the very hotel that Hannes spontaneously thought of as his hotel. He now persuades Dany to travel with him to Venice and impersonate his wife there.

At first everything goes well, even if Dany drinks too much alcohol on the first evening and gets tangled in front of Helen's husband. Dany and Hannes get closer and Dany believes that Hannes actually loves her and has not just fallen in love with her superficially, as is the case with his numerous amours. She is all the more disappointed when she hears that he orders exactly the same menu for her as he orders for all the other women he meets regularly. She also rejects the suggestion of a business colleague Hannes' who degrades her to a light girl and so travels too hastily back to Munich.

When Hannes returns from Venice, he confronts her without wanting to understand her motives for leaving. She resigns indignantly at the end of the month. A little later she is on her hen party invited her friend Billy. Hannes has also announced himself, but has a business appointment until the evening and will therefore come later. Because his car breaks down , he then drives too fast, his car overturns and he is injured - he is taken to the hospital. Dany, who was already mistaken for Wolfgang's future bride at Billy's party, rushes to his sickbed and the two make up. A brief irritation arises when Dany receives a call in the hospital from "her groom" Wolfgang and Hannes reacts annoyed. However, Dany explains to Wolfgang that she will never marry him because she only loves Hannes - who in turn stands behind her unnoticed during the phone call, so that the final reconciliation now takes place.
