action
The art student Ulla tricked her older sister Ilse into modeling for the sculptor Professor Viktor Arnim. In order to confront him, Ilse see him that evening. She forgets her handbag out of sheer excitement, which the professor immediately notices. Ilse obviously does not find Viktor unsympathetic and no longer wants to show herself as a strict sister. So she lies to Viktor and his friend Philipp Geiger, who is also present, that her handbag was stolen by a man named Meier. Viktor and Philipp immediately agree to fetch the bag back. In fact, the well-known boxer Willi Meier lives in the neighborhood. Viktor and Philipp also find a ladies handbag in his apartment, which they secretly take with them.
Both are surprised when Ilse realizes that it is not her handbag. Nevertheless, they want to help the lady, especially since Philipp is also very fond of her. A little later, Viktor's bride, Olivia Palm, arrives. She is a customer of the fashion salon where Ilse works and reveals the dizziness surrounding the bag. Although Viktor tells her what he believes to be a true story about the handbag, his jealous bride doesn't believe a word of him. Ilse hides the real reason for her coming and instead claims to have fallen in love with the professor. She thought up the story about the handbag in order to get to know him better. The following morning Viktor and Philipp appear one after the other in the fashion salon to give Ilse presents. Olivia also arrives there to confront Ilse. Ilse does not think about clearing up the errors about the hysterical Olivia and the opaque Viktor, who is increasingly proving to be a busy womanizer. After Philipp and Viktor turn up in Ilse's apartment to try to gain their favor, Ilse leaves without further ado with her sisters to see Aunt Hermine in the country.
Ilse is amazed when she realizes that both of her admirers have followed her. While Philipp fakes an accident, Viktor claims to be researching Goethe , who is said to have once lived on the property. This is how Aunt Hermione billets them in the house. In order to evade her pursuers, Ilse tells of being engaged to Pipo Tonero, her cousin, who is also present. Soon everyone knows about the swindles, so that Viktor and Philipp have renewed hope. Ilse has to interrupt her vacation to finish Olivia's wedding dress on behalf of her boss. Their wedding is supposed to take place in a few days, which Ilse is visibly disappointing. To her annoyance, Viktor also asks her to personally bring his bride's dress on the wedding day. Ilse has no idea yet that she will become Viktor's wife herself. Meanwhile, Olivia marries boxer Willi Meier.

Reviews
“[...] In the last confused weeks of the war, one of the easiest, most skilful film comedies that German film history knows was created; It is not just three, as the title suggests, but countless comedies that the ancient comedies (woman between two men) take on. Nothing, actually, but presented in such a lively mood, with such charm and graceful playfulness as you otherwise only found in French films by Sascha Guitry or Pierre Colombier . [...] The director Victor Tourjansky has never over-turned the swaying mechanism and feels the dodging hearts that strive to make life easy and love difficult. Despite his demonic black mustache, Ferdinand Marian shows a bright and tidy disposition - an actor of hilarious versatility - and Margot Hielscher finds himself - after " In Flagranti " - with him in a really harmonious film couple. The audience [...] followed her love act with loud, loudest enthusiasm. "
"Slightly entertaining comedy that only premiered four years after the war."
