Hampels Abenteuer is a German silent film fun play from 1915 by Richard Oswald with Georg Baselt in the title role.
action
Willibald Hampel spends a rock solid life in a small provincial town at the side of his resolute wife Justine, who has solid moral concepts and has a firm grip on him. One day a small theatrical troupe arrives and performs the play Romeo and Juliet , which in Frau Hampel's eyes is highly immoral . Willibald is all the more enthusiastic - not because of the “high art” but rather because of the pretty young Mimin Lola Renée, who has done it to him. Lola's overly casual behavior soon embarrasses her in the bourgeois provincial café, and so she leaves to work in the next district town. Pensioner Hampel, however, can no longer get the brisk artist out of his head and travels after her.
In order to make his house dragon Justine credible that he has disappeared for a longer period of time, Hampel and his best friend Lämmermeyer devise a bizarre plan: Lämmermeyer is supposed to slip into the role of a private detective who is supposed to arrest Hampel for smuggling saccharine and send him to prison in the next big city. "Detective" Lämmermeyer explains to the astonished wife of the gods that the pre-trial detention will be at least two weeks. In order to calm his suspicious old woman, Willibald Hampel sends her letters "from jail" with the content that he is missing his Justine with great pain in the lonely cell. In truth, however, Hampel intends to take a vacation from the marriage and lose himself extensively with Lola.
Justine, who is worried about her allegedly imprisoned husband, but is perhaps just suspicious and wants to get to the bottom of the truth of the story that has been served to her, decides to pay Willibald a visit in prison. That puts Hampel in a mess, and so he desperately thinks about what he can do now to be holed up as quickly as possible. But whatever he does, the police have no idea of arresting and imprisoning him. And so he comes up with the "glorious" idea of converting his love nest at Lola's into a prison cell. When Justine shows up, she smells the roast immediately and grabs her husband to drag him home and home. There she is magnanimous and forgives him for his vacation from marriage.

criticism
"A brilliant comedy idea that does credit to the famous Viennese authors is the basis of the humorous film swank" Hampel's Adventure ", in which ... Anna Müller-Linke agrees with cheerfulness."
