action
Katrin Burian lives with her aunt and uncle. It is her 18th birthday and she receives a dress she has sewn herself from her aunt - and meets with aviator Hans, whom she has only recently known and loved. A little later she expected a letter from Hans, who let her go. His job doesn't allow them to become a couple. Her best friend Franziska comforts her and a short time later invites her to a publishing ball. Franziska herself fell in love with the draftsman Felix, who is also an impoverished count.
At the ball, Katrin meets the famous writer Martin Pall, who is fascinated by the young woman. Together they go to the casino and later drive home. They are stopped by a police patrol who arrests Katrin because she has found a valuable arm jewelry from her casino neighbor. Martin does not defend her, but turns away from her. Only at the station does it become clear that the jewelry has probably got stuck in her dress unnoticed. When Katrin comes home, she finds her uncle in mourning: Her heart disease aunt died of a heart attack when the news that her niece was being held in the infirmary . The uncle sells the house and Katrin is alone with no education or friend. When she received her aunt's last medical bill from Dr. Peter Schörg wants to settle in the sanatorium , he hires the young woman as a nurse .
Katrin becomes popular with the patients and the fashion designer Dubeck and theater director Mödel, who are staying in the sanatorium, would hire her immediately. Katrin stays, however, because she has fallen in love with the senior doctor Peter. After a long journey, Martin returns to town, and Katrin is sorry for his behavior. Franziska would also prefer to see her friend Katrin with the rich Martin and so she tells Peter that Katrin is already engaged to Martin and is planning her wedding. He was now dismissive of Katrin and renewed his engagement to the artist Ilse Heyse, who, however, went to Italy a short time later to study .
Katrin leaves the sanatorium, but refuses Martin's help, because she despises him for his behavior when she was arrested. Martin, in turn, threads a contract between Katrin and director Mödel without her knowledge. She was hired as a choir dancer and rose to the star of the show within a very short time, which the first dancer Ilona didn't like at all. She learns that Katrin is being sponsored and tells her about it shortly before the premiere. Katrin cancels her engagement and becomes a mannequin for Mrs. Dubeck. Here she presents their creations and suddenly stands in front of Ilse Heyse and her fiancé, who is not Peter. Katrin now knows that Peter is free again. Franziska, in turn, who is about to marry Felix, confesses to Peter that she had told him the untruth about Katrin and Martin. He appears in Ms. Dubeck's fashion salon and has Katrin show her a wedding dress. Katrin and Peter hug each other and Ms. Dubeck just wants to know whether Katrin wants to keep the dress on or whether she should pack it up for the couple.
