action
Theater director Remming is a bad-tempered contemporary whose displeasure settles over his stage like mildew. Set designer Paul, in particular, regularly gets in his bad mood. When he asked for a particularly expensive material for his decoration, Remming broke the collar and fired his chief decorator. Meanwhile, there is carnival business in Munich, and while Paul thinks he is at the lowest point in his life, a carnival wagon designed by him and highly regarded by the public is rolling along a Munich street. In the ballroom bar of the German Theater in the Isar metropolis, Paul meets his friend Lutz, the in-house theater photographer. Both are currently totally broke. Next door, a somewhat older man named Burkhardt, a German-American industrialist, is talking to a certain Sybille. This woman owns a fashion studio that has provided a ball costume for Burkhardt's daughter Marga. But said Marga disappeared without a trace for two days.
Paul's mood brightened a little when he saw a female in an interesting cat costume. With a teasing saying on his lips, he wants to land with the obviously young lady, but she not only shows him the cold shoulder, but also the clearly more repellent sharp claws and scratches him. When Paul asks her name, the stranger with the cat mask says her name is Mady. Soon this little event will make the rounds, and fashion boss Sybille and Mr. Burkhardt believe that the missing Marga must be behind the mask, because this costume from Sybille's fashion salon was intended for Marga. When the alleged cat girl, slightly intoxicated, disappears and prances along the balustrade of the ballroom, attracting plenty of attention among the carnival guests. While Burkhardt and Sybille ponder whether Marga has just slipped away again, Paul follows the “cat” and leaves the ballroom.
The next morning, when Paul is sleeping off his hangover, the money lender Eberhard gains access to his Schwabing apartment. He finally wants to get the 2000 DM back from him. The resulting noise leads to Paul's neighbor, the bearded musician Billy, joining us. Paul takes advantage of the moment and piles out of his apartment and into Billy. Since there are more or less young couples in love in this building, it is also called the “House of Love”. When Paul returns to his own four walls a little later, he discovers Mädy crouching in his sleeping alcove. With Mädy, with whom he quickly falls in love, his life seems to take a turn, because Paul's losing streak suddenly comes to an end. So Paul begins to believe that the young creature must be the incarnate goddess Fortuna. The problems of the others also more or less dissolve in good pleasure: the whole time pianist Billy had taken in Marga, who he had already known from New York, who he believed to be lost, because they too are in love with each other. The new neighbor, Mädy, helps Burkhardt to find his daughter Marga again and admits that she put on the cat costume intended for Marga that she was supposed to bring her without further ado. Burkhardt, on the other hand, who produces the expensive building material so urgently required by Paul, shows himself to be generous, which brings Paul back to his old stage job. In the end there are two couples who want to marry.

criticism
In the lexicon of the international film it says succinctly: "Happy nonsense, old jokes and confusion jokes, rearranged with a light hand, whereby the limits of the humble basic idea are stretched to the limit."
