action

Josef Haselhuhn is a well-behaved man who works as a pedantic auditor and takes everything very carefully. One day his boss, Director Wolf, who is the main creditor of a catastrophically poorly run mannequin factory, orders him to take a closer look at the company's management. Almost at the same time, Wolf's daughter Hilde was employed as a secretary in this mannequin factory under the false name Lotte Müller. Things get noticeably more complicated when Georg Schilling, the frivolous factory owner, also furnishes his lover, who appears as a singer with the sonorous pseudonym Pussy Angora in a cabaret, an expensive apartment at company expense, which affects the financial situation of the company to be checked by Hazelhuhn not exactly relieved. While Hilde, alias Lotte Müller, is doing her job, she also meets her boss Schilling, who suddenly falls in love with her.

It soon becomes clear to her what problems Georg, who has not remained indifferent to her over the years, is troubling her: the auditor in the neck, an expensive pussy friend and a company that is on the brink. In order to actively deal with Sodom and Gomorrah, the old hazel grouse walks into Miss Angora's apartment in order to confiscate the company-sponsored interior again. However, the seductive lady pulls out all the stops to drive the auditor crazy with the means of a woman. He is promptly caught in a precarious situation, which the wife of the in principle extremely chaste Joseph likes to take advantage of to introduce her husband to her daughter Marlise, who was previously hidden in the country and comes from Emilie's time before her marriage to Josef. Ultimately, everything turns out for the better: Georg and Hilde get married, which incidentally means that Schilling's company can still be restructured thanks to the finances of father-in-law Wolf.

Reviews

Der Spiegel wrote: “The 65-year-old swank specialist Carl Boese staged after his infidelity into the comedy (" The Uncle from America ") again as cracked and worn out as possible, based on Arnold and Bach's" Under Business Supervision ". With Boese's wife, the grotesque backfisch Elena Luber, with the folk film veteran Lucie Englisch, with the charmingly over-vamped Renate Mannhardt, with the slightly embarrassed charge comedian Ludwig Schmitz as the main actor and the full actor Peter Mosbacher, who is devoured by demons. "

In the lexicon of the international film it says: "Stupid and dull film posse, which undercuts the underlying stage fluctuation in level by far."
