action

Engineer Norbert recently became the proud owner of a cottage in the heath. Together with his friends Bernhard and Karl Möbius, whom everyone just calls “Möps”, he wants to spend the coming summer holidays there. But at first sight the wooden house turns out to be rather dilapidated, and so the three of them decide to spend the time renovating the run-down piece of jewelry. The first thing to do is to re-cover the roof so that it doesn't rain in at the next opportunity.

One day Norbert observes the young forester's daughter Ursula hunting wild ducks. Both young people quickly become friends and fall in love with each other. Bernhard and Möps have also met a woman, the young Hanna from the neighboring farm. Since Norbert does not want the renovation work to be impaired by any dealings with Bernhard and Möps, he falls back on a white lie and claims that he is connected to Hanna. An ideal solution for Hanna, as she herself kept an eye on Norbert. Norbert's ruse works, and in fact, from now on, his friends are increasingly devoting themselves to improving the cottage. Hanna, meanwhile, takes on the role of Norbert's friend, which has almost fallen at her feet, which Ursula also hears and, as expected, displeases her. Since she has seriously fallen in love with Norbert, she now turns away from him and begins to flirt violently with Möps and Bernhard. Norbert quickly realizes what a stupid idea this feigned liaison with Hanna was.

Bernhard seems to have the most chances with Ursula, which Möps doesn't like at all. And so he summons Bernhard's fiancée Anita from Berlin to quickly put an end to Bernie's attempts to flirt. In fact, Möpsen's little intrigue is a success: Anita catches Bernhard and Ursula red-handed and makes a scene for her fiancé. Ursula then flees. Norbert, in turn, explains to her why he instrumentalized Hanna as "his girlfriend", and between the two young people things begin to smooth out. But Hanna is not ready to do without "her" Norbert anytime soon. She manages to make Ursula believe that Norbert lied to her. And so the reconciliation of the two is history again in no time.

Then a continuous rain sets in. The three friends, including Anita, who has come from Berlin, have to stay in the still not watertight house for days. Time does not want to end, and arguments keep coming back. Then finally the weather improves, which also affects the general sensitivities. Anita and Bernhard are reconciled, and Möps succeeds in bringing Ursula and Norbert back together. Now that Hanna is free for him, the funny guy makes another attempt. But the somewhat volatile girl has long since fallen in love with another, this time it's a crisp heather farmer . At the end of the holiday, the renovation work on the house is still not completely finished, and yet everyone has to start their journey home. Norbert resolves to finish the cottage in autumn so that he can move in there with his Ursula.

Production notes

Filming began in September 1944 and probably ended at the turn of the year 1944/45. At the end of the Second World War, the strip was in music synchronization.

Jens Asby (1912–2003), completely unknown in this country, was a Danish actor who was involved in a German production for the only time.

The buildings come from Heinrich Beisenherz and Alfred Bütow . Production group leader Ernst Garden was also the production manager. He died a little later, presumably as a result of the war.

criticism

Since the film never saw a performance, there are no reviews.
