action

Borro Müller works as a sales representative for the Stuttgart publishing house “For young and old”. His job means that he has to spend the night in a different city every day and consequently in a different bed every night. In business he is particularly successful with femininity because he has an irresistible effect on women. One day he meets Maria Kraemer and immediately falls in love with her. She's his new boss, but Borro doesn't (yet) know. Maria Kraemer came into possession of the publisher through an inheritance. Little did she suspect that - triggered by a letter of complaint - she just quit her new friend, of all people. She only becomes aware of this when she runs into him again - this time in Heidelberg. She is already about to beg Borro's forgiveness when his former girlfriend, the bar singer Melitta Cordi, shows up. Angry, Maria leaves Borro and searches for the distance. The disappointed Borro turns to his friend Hans von Meier and complains about his suffering. Hans is also a traveling salesman, albeit in lingerie, and very shy. Recently, however, his relationship with women has relaxed somewhat. This is due to the spirited Princess Reni von Wiesenberg, an impoverished noble student whom he has had an eye on. She, too, does not seem averse to marrying Hans one day.

It doesn't take long before Borro meets the princess. He learns that she has been appointed as his successor at the Stuttgart publishing house. Now he should also work them in! He has no problems with that, especially since the new one is a feast for the eyes. Hans is less enthusiastic. With a trick he manages to get his friend to move to a new district immediately. However, this does not prevent him from continuing to look after his old clientele, now accompanied by Reni.

Because Hans is afraid to ask old Wiesenberg for Reni's hand, Borro decides to do so for his friend. This starts a series of mix-ups and misunderstandings, until in the end all the cords work loose and two happy couples - Borro and Maria and Hans and Reni - go on their honeymoon.
