action
Maria Dahlberg is a celebrated singer who is only too happy to receive attention from her fans. This time she manages to disappear into her hotel room , unmolested by reporters and autograph hunters . The chambermaid advises her to bow three times in front of the mirror before going to bed, then the next dream will come true. So the artist falls asleep and immediately has an extremely intense dream. In it, she meets a suitor armed with a bouquet of white lilies , who predicts that she will only get rid of him when she will marry him. After a scandal during a concert performance and a subsequent car accident, Maria wakes up pale with terror. Thank God, it was all just a dream ...
When her best friend Helene shows up, she notices how nervously tense Maria is, and “prescribes” her first distraction from all the stress by inviting the singer to her parents' house. Here, far away from the din of the big city and all the fans and admirers, you can relax and find peace. As soon as the two women want to leave the hotel, a young man with white lilies walks towards them on the stairs. His name is Peter Paulsen and he is on his way to his rose, his future bride, who is also staying at this hotel. Maria, who actually believes that dream and reality threaten to merge with one another, makes it abruptly clear to the completely astonished bridegroom that he can save himself from having to worry about her. The unsuspecting person is initially puzzled, but Maria even “goes one better” at the next unintentional encounter. Finally, Peter's bridal gift to Röschen, a diamond brooch, is inadvertently handed over to Maria by a messenger. Since she immediately runs away when she only sees Peter, the bridegroom has no choice but to actually cling to Maria's heels.
Maria sees herself being followed, and Peter just wants his bride present back! Since she continuously evades him, Peter has no choice but to place her where she cannot escape: on stage during a concert. It comes to a scandal, and Maria's dream of a scandal in the concert hall has also come true. Maria Dahlberg leaves headlong, and Röschen's parents read in the press about a suspected affair with their future son- in-law . Thereupon they forbid their daughter to marry this allegedly faithless "greyhound". Peter follows them on the train and promptly lands in the adjoining compartment in which Maria has taken a seat. When the two of them meet, all misunderstandings are finally cleared up.
As soon as one confusion has been cleared up, a new one arises. Maria also has a fiancé named Arthur, who is only called "Schnurzl" by her; and Schnurzl has to recognize at the station how Peter Paulsen in pajamas emerges from the compartment in which Maria had slept. The entanglements can hardly be credibly explained; and so neither “Schnurzl” believes Maria's assurances that nothing dishonorable has happened, nor does Röschen's mother. Since Peter blames Maria for the termination of the engagement by Röschen's parents, he does his best to ruin Maria's engagement by saying "Schnurzl" with a lot of clandestine meaning that they passed the travel time together on the train . "Schnurzl" Viktor is fed up and breaks off the engagement with his bride. To make matters worse, Peter and Maria also experience the car accident they dreamed of, so that Maria realizes that the dream was right in everything, and you cannot defend yourself against your fate. Maria and Peter therefore decide to get married.

Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: “Burlesque story of confusion in which the real and the unreal overlap. Even if their style is not consistently maintained, all ideas and punch lines are skillfully brought to the common basis of almost non-stop laughter and the comedian ensemble is used quite effectively. "
The critic and author Karlheinz Wendtland said of Staudte's second directorial work: "A play of errors and confusions, prepared in a comedic manner by Wolfgang Staudte."
"Staudte's second feature film is an entertaining trifle that gives no indication of the human, artistic and critical qualities of his later films."
