The pretty, young Theres Huber earns her living as a flower seller. Her life as a dirty little lower-class girl suddenly takes a turn when Duke Patry Thun and his friend Robert Wulfen enter into a bet that focuses on Theres. Like Shaw's Eliza Doolittle , Theres is now being reeducated into a young lady, starting with a decent bath in the tub, in which not only the street dirt, but also her entire previous life is to be scrubbed off her naked body.
After all, the aristocrat serves his friend as a candidate for marriage, the young lady who has been perfectly peeled from the egg and completely remodeled. Indeed, the young people who are in love with each other enter into a marriage bond. But after Robert learns of her socially low origin, he rejects Theres Huber again. But Duke Patry doesn't give up so easily. He comes up with a clever trick and brings the two who were determined to be together again.

Reviews
Vienna's Neue Freie Presse reported in its September 2, 1924 edition: “Maria Corda, the female leading actress, must be praised for the fact that, as a poorly dressed, awkward and intimidated child on the street, she is just as funny and touching as later in the whole presentation strangely charming and decorative to the lady of the world. [...] Fast in the plot, well played and nicely decorated, this film actually contains everything that the audience actually wants from a movie. "
In Paimann's film lists you can read: “The rather erotic subject is very gripping and quite exciting. The presentation in all roles is excellent, presentation and photos are up-to-date. "
