action
Gertrud von Gehr is the daughter of the retired officer Major von Gehr. He is annoyed by his neighbor's new house, the wealthy factory owner Conrad Birkinger. To make matters worse, Gehr's daughter Gertrud falls in love with Birkinger and one day they both get married. The childless marriage is not a lucky star, because Birkinger cheats on his wife with his former girlfriend Doritt. Gertrud's unfaithful husband even went so far that he and Doritt rented a hotel as Mr. and Mrs. Birkinger.
When a fire breaks out in the hotel, the two can no longer escape and die in the flames. Now Gertrud Birkinger is officially dead. At first she does not notice anything about this development, because she too had stayed in the hotel because she had secretly traveled to join her husband. But she could be saved. After a lengthy recovery, Gertrud returns to her old, premarital life and devotes herself entirely to her brother Hermann's children.
