action
Germany, shortly before 1914. The 17-year-old Unterprimaner Jean de Wehrt is a real rascal. The son of the Rhenish court president Friedrich de Wehrt does not even think about obeying the seriousness of life, but rather wants to go out into the wide world for the foreseeable future and enjoy life to the fullest. So he follows the temptations of the big city and from then on leads the lively life of a young bon vivant whose world is the theater boxes and bourgeois boudoirs. After a performance, he meets the seductive actress Germaine, who soon introduces him to the high art of love. Jean's Aunt Arabelle, who remembers her own youth only too well, understands that the boy wants to turn off his horns first and gives him the change he needs to live out his affair.
Jean's other family, however, is not exactly thrilled when she learns about the casual lifestyle of the junior. So the head of the family decided to tighten the reins and banish the boy to a much more moral high school in a small town, where the “sinful” temptations were limited. There, under the care of the strict Ms. Mertens, he should devote himself entirely to school performance. But one day Jean meets the pretty French woman Gertrude Forrestier, with whom he falls head over heels in love.
When the lovers are caught at the familiar tête-à-tête , Jean flies upright out of this school too. In order to finally bring him to reason, it is decided to finally drive out the 'lotter boy' at the Barras . And so Jean de Wehrt ends up as a flag boy in the Prussian military. But Aunt Arabelle does her best to save Jean and Gertrude's young fortune and offers them a cozy love nest. Then the First World War breaks out ...

criticism
The film's large personal lexicon wrote in the director's biography: Thiele “tried to gain a certain slipperiness from Wilhelminism in“ The black-white-red four-poster bed ”."
The lexicon of the international film judged the black-white-red four-poster bed : "Exceptionally well cast right down to the batch roles, not without surprising gags from the director, but in terms of style it is true German difficult."
The online presence of Cinema said: "Slightly dusty, but piquantly charming."
The Protestant Film Observer rated the film as "entertaining and satirical, but ultimately succumbing to the usual clothing style."
