action
Hella Wendland is a young, budding artist. When she is in the area, Hella decides to visit her uncle and former guardian, Mr. Drosselberg. Kommerzienrat Drosselberg is quite wealthy, but "blessed" with an extremely ugly daughter named Klara. He absolutely wants to bring this under the hood. In order to achieve this goal, the old man has already switched on a marriage agency under the beautiful name "Providence and Co.". When Baron Felix Dulberg sees little uncle with the attractive Hella, he is on fire and takes the young woman for Drosselberg's Klara, who is advertised as sour beer. Dulberg's brother Kurt also had an eye on the wrong Klara, and competition between families soon developed.
When Hella and Drosselberg go to Karlovy Vary for a cure , they are followed by the two brothers. The head of the marriage initiation institute, Zacharias Providence, who also hopes for the expected millions from Klara Drosselberg, has attached himself to this. However, no one has a chance. Klara, who is currently recovering in the country, receives a letter from her father in which the latter writes that he has fallen in love with his former ward. Klara wants to save her father from something very stupid and now also travels to Karlsbad. Her appearance now finally plunges everyone present into chaos. But then the confused situation clears up, and the following pairings arise: Hella receives Baron Felix, Klara his brother Kurt, and the clever businessman Providence encourages the old Kommerzienrat, undoubtedly a very interesting customer for him, to think about getting married again .

criticism
“The good part is a delicious Hella Moja comedy in which the charming artist enchants us again. She gives her role ... so true to life and with so much humor that we are only too happy to indulge in her magic. (...) She receives three marriage proposals, turns her uncle's head and finally makes a young baron happy with her hand. A humorous, extremely entertaining film. "
