action
Ossi Wittgenstein goes to a lyceum and is a tomboy and cheeky, young girl who likes to play jokes with her environment and thus challenges the conventions caring for people in her social environment, especially her aunt and uncle. Ossi doesn't like such norms at all, and she likes to rebel against them. One day, her non-conformism will be put to a severe test, because the freshly perky schoolgirl becomes a rich young lady thanks to an inheritance: the million-dollar girl who gives the title. She then immediately falls in love with a young man. It is about the young musician Mauritius Natter, who gives her music lessons. They both eventually become a couple.

criticism
"H. Fredall staged it and peppered it with plenty of good things, ins, outs and falls. Very freely in the representation, it seems more drastic and funny because of the boyish manner than piquant, a circumstance that actually benefits the piece. "
