action

Franz Hellmer is the managing director of Paul Wallis' delicatessen store, his friend Bela works there as a clerk . When the friends get to know Lilo Martens, both are very impressed by the pretty young woman. It quickly turns out, however, that Bela cannot score points with Lilo, while the charming Franz calculates his chances. After celebrating with friends in the "Green Cockatoo" and cheering the performance of the singer Dolly Reves, and the bar closes for the police hour, the friends decide to continue the pleasant get-together in the delicatessen. However, it is so loud that residents alert the police about disturbing the peace. The result is that Franz and Bela lose their jobs.

However, the friends quickly find a new job with Mr. Markow, whose delicatessen shop is across the street. Markow expects something from it, as Franz in particular is very popular with the female clientele because of his charming manner. Wallis, in turn, finds a new employee in Lilo. Indeed, Markow was right with his decision, because the friends ensure that the delicatessen shop quickly grows into serious competition for the Valais delicatessen. This competition for customers, however, results in losses for both businesses in the long term, so that the owners ultimately follow Franz's suggestion and unite their businesses. And that leads to another happy circumstance for Franz, because he finally gets his Lilo.
