action
The American millionaire Ellinor Patton is thrilled when she keeps seeing the same winter sportsman with the number 7 victorious under different names in different competitions in St. Moritz . From then on she calls him her number 7 and is delighted when he also serves her as a waiter in her hotel. She doesn't know that Vico is the son of the hotel owner Hasenpfot. The father, on the other hand, is not enthusiastic when Vico sings a hit with the Mantovani orchestra in the hotel and an affair with the flower girl Blanche begins. Blanche is transferred to a hotel in Rome on Rabbit's instructions . Hasenpfot wants to block the monthly money for his son if he doesn't stop singing, but Vico prefers to break up with him and go out into the world alone. He comes to Rome, where he initially looks for a job in vain and then finds accommodation under a false name in a hotel in which Mantovani's orchestra will also perform. He applies to Mantovani, but an orchestra member hired by his father prevents an application to Mantovani from going through. Instead, Vico is told that Mantovani has not been enthusiastic about his singing skills and that he will not be part of the orchestra.
In Rome, Vico, who has meanwhile also hired himself as a mime artist, meets Blanche and the two become a couple. He also befriends Blanche's confidante Fleurette, who is friends with the musician from Mantovani's orchestra who prevented Vico's rise. Vico also sees Ellinor again, who gets him a waiter job in a prestigious hotel. It is also Ellinor who, without Vico's knowledge, puts together a revue for him in which, through the mediation of Fleurette's friend, he gets the lead role. After the premiere of the revue Der Liebling von Soho , Ellinor presented himself to the press as Vico's sponsor. Blanche gets the situation wrong and rushes away disappointed. She leaves for St. Moritz. Fleurette learns from her boyfriend that he arranged the revue job and prevented an engagement with Mantovani at the insistence of Mr. Hasenpfot. He makes up for his misconduct by telling Mantovani about Vico. Mantovani still wants to hire the young singer from St. Moritz. Everyone travels to St. Moritz, where Vico also arrives in search of Blanche. He finds her and they both hug.

criticism
The lexicon of international film was in 1990: "Chic fuss about the pop singer Vico Torriani". In its new edition, the LdIF assessed the film more critically: It was "undemanding Schlager entertainment, made from a template and enriched with colorful tourist views of St. Moritz and Rome, a lot of glamorous fuss and even more fake sentiment."
Cinema stated: "Vico sings Schlager, the rest is meager".
