Das Telephonkitten is a medium-length, German silent film fun play from 1917 by William Karfiol with Trude Hesterberg in the title role.
action
The operator Nelly Lehmann is dreaming of the day when she pensively looks at the photo of her lover, Fritz. As a result, the connection requested by the customer, Mr. Knicker, cannot be established. The same is so angry about Nelly's neglect that he verbally washes her head properly. Nelly refuses to accept that and decides to sue Mr. Knicker for insult. When the two brawlers meet by chance in the tram, they do not recognize each other, as Knicker, who is currently in love with Nelly, introduces himself as “Reindeer Miller”. Immediately he asks for a rendezvous. How can he suspect that his nephew Fritz, of all people, is the jack of hearts of the young lady who is going to sue him?
A little later, Knicker shows Fritz the summons to court. This matter is extremely inconvenient for the old man, as he hopes to be appointed to the council of commerce soon. Fritz immediately recognizes that the plaintiff is his fiancée and asks her not to withdraw the lawsuit. Instead, he asks her to grant old Knicker the requested rendezvous. When he met the plaintiff on the first day of the hearing, Knicker of course immediately recognized his chance acquaintance and was initially completely perplexed. The judge asks the two fighters to make a comparison, which Knicker comes in handy. Nelly, on the other hand, only wants to follow the recommendation of the court if Knicker, who is also Fritzens Erbonkel, gives his blessing on the engagement of both of them. Knicker grumbles that he has to let the adored Nelly go, but ultimately agrees to this regulation.

criticism
"In this cheerful picture, which is based on a good comedy idea, we follow with great pleasure the mischievous comedy of a bride and groom who, in an extremely funny way, forces the uncle's consent to their union, whereby delightful coincidences offer them welcome support."
