action
When it becomes known that the popular Viennese singer Fred Wiskott wants to marry his girlfriend Ninon Lorraine, who gave up her career as a dancer two years ago for his sake, a world collapses for the women. The dancer Elinor, with whom Fred had a relationship, even tries to kill herself with pills in Fred's dressing room. Fred doesn't react very empathetically and says he couldn't help it if women misunderstand his advances. Ninon is disappointed and shocked by her future husband's behavior and breaks the bond. He should now also go on vacation to Sicily by himself. Toni Weinträger, who directs Fred's stage programs, hopes that Ninon will finally return his love.
Fred travels to Sicily alone and stays with his friend, the painter Paulchen Sperling. He lives as a bachelor in a small villa; his bachelor household is kept in good shape by the beautiful Sicilian Marina. Marina, who lives on the island with her little brother Roberto, would rather leave her home today than tomorrow and explore the world. When Fred appears in his convertible , she is thrilled. She reads the numerous journals that are sent to him, and although he initially disapproves of her, he does start a holiday flirt with her. At the fishing festival in the village they even sing a song together and dance tightly. Ninon appears just then, after whom Paulchen had sent. He fears that Fred is giving Marina hopes that he cannot fulfill and that Ninon can bring him back to his senses. However, the young woman leaves when she sees Fred and Marina so intimate with each other. But not only Ninon is bad at the couple: Jacopo, who loves Marina, would also like to see Fred back in Vienna.
Fred ends his vacation when he hears that Ninon was in Sicily. He asks Marina to forget about him. A short time later in Vienna he was rehearsing a new stage program that will bring him back together with Ninon for the first time. After separating from Fred, she turned back to dancing and will be back on stage for the first time in two years in the new piece. When Ninon and Fred slowly approach, Marina suddenly appears in the doorway. She followed Fred and hopes to be able to continue the relationship they both had in Sicily in Vienna. However, Fred and Ninon fear that Marina will end up like Elinor. So Fred does not immediately reject her. While he and Ninon rehearse for the new program, Marina realizes that she belongs in Sicily. At the premiere of the program, she is still sitting in the audience, but leaves during the performance. Ninon and Fred have reunited. Marina is also enthusiastically received by her friends back in Sicily. Jacopo is most happy - he and Marina are finally becoming a couple.

criticism
The lexicon of international film called guitars sound softly through the night as "unpretentious love, laughter and Landschaftsfilmchen; staging at a correspondingly low level. "
Cinema classified the film as a "hit man" and described it as a "level and unimportant warbler orgy with pop singer Fred Bertelmann, also known as 'the laughing vagabond'."
On the German music television page, however, it was said: "The lively film with pop star Fred Bertelmann provides great entertainment for young and old with great music and wonderful dialogues."
