action
Peter and Kurt Jäger are cousins who couldn't be more different: While Peter is considered a philanderer in the family's own chocolate company , Kurt is anti-alcoholic, hypochondriac and completely inexperienced with women. He has never noticed that his secretary Inge has loved him for years.
One day, shortly after his birthday, Kurt confesses to his cousin that he had fallen in love with his customer Sabine. She works as a nanny and has just quit her job. When she tries to respond to a newspaper ad looking for a nanny, Peter secretly diverts the call to Kurt, who invites Sabine to his home for an interview. The bundle of nerves only notices that Sabine wants to work as a nanny when she asks about his child during a conversation. Kurt states that there is a child in the house that belongs to his cousin Peter. The next day they “borrow” the eldest son Heinerle from an acquaintance of Peters, who soon turns the house upside down and brings Kurt's maid, Frau Stadelmeier, to despair.
Peter has made a lie that he is the biological father of Heinerle, but that he grew up with his stepfather . In order to couple Sabine with Kurt, Peter wants to go out with Sabine and rave about his cousin to her. Kurt, on the other hand, is supposed to come to the table a little later, whereupon Peter wants to say goodbye - he has a girlfriend who has rarely seen him lately.
Kurt's secretary Inge has decided to take action. From the bare, inconspicuously dressed secretary, she has transformed into a made-up and fashionably dressed woman who promptly confuses Kurt so much that he can no longer dictate a letter to her. While both are still planning how Kurt can impress Sabine that evening, they get closer, drink cognac and finally end up tipsy in Kurt's house. There they drink and eventually brings Inge fully drunken Kurt to bed and both engaged themselves. Meanwhile, Peter is in trouble, he planned on Kurt's appearance and didn't have enough money with him to pay in the restaurant. It is a good thing that a dance competition has just been called in which the “loveliest couple” is sought. The prize would be just enough to pay for the meal, and so they dance each other lovingly to victory.
The next day: Peter has fallen in love with Sabine, but she becomes suspicious because she suspects that Heinerle is not Peter's child. Heinerle's real father appears furious with jealousy and beats Kurt, because he believes that Kurt was his wife's secret lover. She in turn learns the whole truth about “child borrowing” from Peter and opens Sabine's eyes, who was about to pack her things. Sabine tells Heinerle's father the background and he is reconciled. Sabine plans to delay Peter and reveals to Kurt that she has fallen in love with him - just as Peter planned it on their evening together. There is an argument between Peter and Kurt and Inge is also unhappy, before everything dissolves after a staged fight between Peter and Kurt and Peter and Sabine and Kurt and Inge finally come together.

criticism
The film service found that Hans Quest in the film "pushes back tones of finer humor [...] vigorously in order to let the slapstick , the loud silliness in almost every scene. One regrets that, because the material would have opened up possibilities not only for colorful clothes, but also for a warm comedy. But not with this line-up (Biederstaedt-Philipp-Cramer)! "
For the lexicon of international films published by the film-dienst in 1990 , nannies for papa were wanted, an "over-the-top, undemanding film twists and turns based on tried and tested mix-ups."
