action
His astonishing resemblance to Gustav Biernatzki, who had escaped from prison and who specialized in jewelery, is the undoing of the honorable master tailor Hermann Espenlaub: he has hardly taken a seat at his hairdresser than he is "kidnapped" by the fence Krause. In his former apartment in Cologne there are said to be many beautiful jewels that need to be fetched. But even before that, the fake Biernatzki receives a considerable sum as the last share of the booty due to him. To do this, he should find the hidden jewelry behind the precisely described stove tile. Aspen leaves stimulate adventure; therefore he gets involved in the matter; after all, he might earn a reward with it. So off to Cologne! But no sooner has Krause loaded the train with Biernatzki's friend Mieze Espenlaub than the real Biernatzki appears on the scene. Now the amazement is great. Immediately the three of them travel after the wrong Biernatzki.
In a Cologne wine tavern, Hermann befriends the singer Rosita and soon realizes that you can rely on her 100%. The always bad-tempered apartment owner Bellmann is only willing to rent the apartment in which the jewelry is hidden to a single lady. Visits to gentlemen are strictly prohibited! Rosita becomes the new tenant, and Hermann pretends to be her “friend” in women's clothes. In this gulf, Hermann meets the escaped convict on the way. Such cheap tricks are of course all too familiar to him. First he beats up his doppelganger; then he drags him to the house of his Cologne friend Lucie and locks him in the office. While Biernatzki makes his way to Bellmann's apartment, Lucie throws out her supposed "rival". From now on, events precipitate. One mishap is followed by another, one mistake followed by another. When the plot finally shifted back to Berlin, Biernatzki is discovered by the master tailor's friend at the train station and violently compliments Anna Espenlaub. Daughter Susanne immediately senses that something is lazy here. When the police show up, Biernatzki panics. He quickly lets the jewels disappear into the tailor's dummy standing next to him and tries to talk his way out of it. However, his assurances are of no use to him; his tattoos give him away.
Finally - after three days of fear! - Hermann can return to his tailoring workshop. There he discovers the booty with Susanne's help and delivers it to the police. With the generous reward, he wants to buy a studio on Ku-Damm.
additions
The strip was shot in the film studio in Göttingen as well as in Cologne and Berlin. The buildings were created by the film architects Gabriel Pellon and Hans-Jürgen Kiebach . Hermann Grund took over the production management . The music was composed by Robert Küssel . Werner Lind wrote the lyrics to the song "Kleine Fisch" (Little Fish), which can be heard in the strip and was composed by him.
criticism
The lexicon of international film only notes that the film contains “gross confusion.” DER SPIEGEL has a slightly better opinion in its May 28, 1952 issue: “Confusion with a respectable speed and a highly moral end goal: the Schneider Platte delivers to the police what doesn't belong to him. "
