action

The middle-class Dassau family devoted themselves - unsuccessfully - to various artistic activities. While the father as a post office clerk in Vienna writes detective novels on the side that cannot find a publisher, the mother composes songs that suffer the same fate. The eldest daughter Nicole is certified for her "semi-delicate" poems talent, but no offer is made. The younger siblings paint and juggle. Following the example of an immoral revelation book by a 16-year-old, Nicole writes a play about the easy love life of a 17-year-old, advised by her sister Brigitte and her father. The father appears as the agent of his daughter, whom he represents as an anonymous, allegedly autobiographical writer.

The play is accepted by the theater, and the family can fulfill many material dreams as a result. Mr. Dott, an American producer, is interested in the play and wants to acquire the film rights. The condition is that anonymity is broken, at least towards him. Nicole agrees to meet Dott in his theater box. At the end of the performance, the main actress airs the incognito, whereupon Nicole is kidnapped by teenage fans into a club. Dott frees her and tries to approach her over dinner. After her escape to her parents' apartment, Dott seeks her out and offers the business relationship on the condition that Nicole comes to America with him. She goes on a rendezvous with Dott. Dott, who is looking for a “girl without a past” as a woman for life, and Nicole fall in love on the Ferris wheel in Vienna's Prater . A few more comedic circumstances later, the two are a couple.
