action
Helene Kiepergass not only owns a villa with a park, she also has a companion, a servant, a private secretary and - since she unexpectedly received an important inheritance - numerous quirks . She is particularly proud of the purchase of a pearl necklace that is said to have belonged to a Russian Grand Duchess. Permanent guests in the house are also the alleged Dr. Kiesewetter, who, in their opinion, should treat her husband with nervous disorders, and the alleged nephew Bert from Mexico. Helene completely escapes the fact that these two behave very strangely and - when they are alone - call each other Theo and Paule and that they only have one thing on their mind: to “acquire” the precious pearl necklace.
It's a good thing Madam has a good private secretary. He finally succeeds not only in bringing order to the household and transferring the gangster duo, but also in bringing his mistress back to reality so that she can again distinguish value from unworthy and genuine from false. The noblest and most pleasant job of the private secretary, however, is to win the heart of companion Mary and make her happy.
