action
The young Ernst Leuchtenthal plans to travel to the USA for a year to study. Before that, his father asks him for an interview. Consul Leuchtenthal wants, not without ulterior motives, to marry his son “well” before he disappears overseas. The old man has in mind the very young, attractive Christine von Auffenberg, who runs a breeding farm for fine chinchillas . This would go well with the consul's trade, because he makes good money as a fur trader. Ernst is not too enthusiastic about marrying a woman his father has chosen for him, especially since he does not love Christine. When he visited the Oktoberfest in Munich shortly before his departure , it was as if he were hit by a blow: While strolling through the Oktoberfest , he met the light-blonde Marianne, and for him it was like love at first sight. Since Marianne also feels something for him, the two decide not to lose sight of each other. The two of you only have one night of love at first. Because the very next day Ernst's flight goes to America, and in the near future the young fortune won't have the opportunity to see each other again and get to know each other better. But Ernst does not seem to keep his promise to write regularly to the friendly and lovable nanny. When, months later, Marianne still has not received any mail from the student, Marianne goes to Consul Leuchtenthal, from whom she asks for Ernst's American address. Since the old man has absolutely no interest in his filius and the girl from simple circles coming together, he simply refuses Marianne Ernst's address in the States.
Disappointed, Marianne Ernst gives up and reorientates herself. The widowed veterinarian Dr. Bachmaier has been interested in her for a long time and would also like to marry her, but Marianne has always turned him down so far. But now she agrees to become his wife, especially since she became pregnant by Ernst and the unborn child should have a reliable father in the future. When Marianne's aunt Dr. Elisabeth Manning learns about the child, she realizes the mischief she has caused. She was the driving force behind the fact that Ernst's letters sent to her address were not handed over to Marianne. When Elisabeth tries to talk to Marianne and wants to redress the injustice she has caused, she is careless for a moment and is run over by an approaching truck on the street. The impact is so strong that Elisabeth dies at the scene of the accident. Meanwhile in the USA, Ernst wonders why he hasn't received a single letter from Marianne and believes that she is faithless and that she has changed her mind and changed direction in the meantime. Christine takes advantage of this situation and goes to the United States to make a second attempt. This time Ernst seems willing to marry the pretty young brunette. Only when Ernst returned to Germany from the USA did he learn the whole terrible truth: Marianne is now married and has a daughter - his daughter! He wants to win back Marianne by all means.

In the film service it says: "A Schnulze that pulls all shallow stops and touches a difficult-to-bear potpourri of relevant ingredients."
