content
The film takes place in the fictional wine town of Plünderich on the Moselle . Its mayor, Peter Struwe, is keen to be able to inherit from his uncle Eduard Struwe, the richest wine merchant and the only honorary citizen of the community. There is only one thing that Peter Struwe does not appreciate at all about his relative: his excessive moral rigor, especially since he also expects this from the other family members. Ms. Struwe certainly doesn't dare to say a few words about her daughter Yvette, who comes from her first marriage, in front of the morally sour heirloom. She works as a dancer in a Cologne revue theater. Furthermore, Uncle Eduard must never find out that Peter's daughter Lotte (she was a child from his first marriage) recently had to leave the exclusive boarding school because she was found in the company of her boyfriend while inspecting her room.
One day, Mayor Struwe, accompanied by the municipal secretary Böcklein, goes to Cologne for a conference at which the moral issues of the Moselle communities are to be discussed. The two gentlemen from Plünderich, however, have something else in mind in the big city: they end up in the "Trocadero". The mayor enjoys the fact that the dancer Yvette gives him a friendly smile every now and then. After the performance he even manages to outsmart her constant companion, the American Jimmy, but also her most stubborn admirer, a count from Vienna.
The next morning, community secretary Böcklein - he returned to Plünderich that night - is impatiently waiting for his friend Peter. In the end, the dancer returns home in a bad state of health and starts to brag about his experiences with the dancer, but only until she shows up herself. Peter invited her to Plünderich yesterday in a blissful mood, so she is here now! The mayor is now wondering how he can best get rid of the girl. The dancer, however, is determined to stay in Plünderich and spend her vacation here. As is usual with a swing, events now precipitate. There are numerous mix-ups, but in the end they all dissolve into good pleasure.

criticism
The lexicon of international films describes the strip succinctly as "Millowitsch-Schwank". In his online edition "Zweiausendeins", the criticism gets a little tougher: "A tired sway full of ambiguities."
