content
Shrove Tuesday : While the saleswoman Franzi has already danced through several nights and uses her working hours to sleep, Hanni Gruber, as a "good girl", has never been partying, but prefers to take care of the sale of dolls and fabric. The little employee Kümmelmann is secretly in love with Hanni and organizes two tickets for the Redoute , the largest costume ball in town. He invites Hanni, who, on his own responsibility, “borrows” the most expensive clothes in the shop and jewelry. Both arrange to meet for the evening at the ball.
Professor Vinzenz Kornmeier also has to go to the redoubt because he is supposed to meet his publisher there. He wants to publish a book by Kornmeier and conclude the contract in a box in the ballroom. Kornmeier's wife Ida, however, is suspicious and accompanies her husband.
August Sommerbauer's wife, who is the boss of Kümmelmann and Hanni, is also suspicious. Sommerbauer actually wants to meet and celebrate with friends on the Redoute, but pretends to be going to St. Pölten on a business trip in front of his wife . She promptly accompanies him to the train and waits until he has set off - unrecognized, Sommerbauer manages to jump from the moving train and secretly go to the Redoubt.
Here he sees Hanni in the borrowed dress, but does not recognize her. She flees from him to a box that belongs to the well-known sports pilot Helmut von Sörensen. She pretends to be his wife and Sörensen, who appears shortly afterwards, hides his true identity from her. Sommerbauer has positioned himself in front of the box, who wants to expose the thief, so that Hanni cannot go and has to keep playing her identity hiding game in front of Sörensen. In the next box, Kornmeier has meanwhile signed the contract stating that he has to add a few more chapters to his book. Sommerbauer knows Ida from a doctor's visit and when he looks into Kornmeier's box to look for the dress thief, he is now forced to dance with Ida. When Sörensen leaves the box briefly to pay, Hanni asks Kornmeier, who was left behind, to pretend to be her husband Sörensen, so that she can flee from the real Sörensen, who pretends to be a detective. Kornmeier, delighted by the signing of the contract, agrees and soon afterwards has to accompany Hanni to the taxi and to Sörensen's villa, as the real Sörensen follows both - who in turn want to prevent the fraud surrounding the wrong Sörensen couple from becoming obvious.
When they arrive at Sörensen, even the servant of the aviator lets the couple in at a sign from the real Sörensen. Sörensen, on the other hand, pretends to have broken down his car and telephones in his apartment, habitually pockets cigarettes and is now considered a thief in the eyes of Hanni and Kornmeier. Hanni frantically entrusts Kornmeier with her borrowed jewelry. After Kornmeier has secretly left to notify the police about the Sörensen thief and forcing Hanni Sörensen to empty his pockets, Sörensen finally discovers his true identity. Both dance, but when Sörensen's servant prepares a bed for both of them without being asked, Hanni flees disappointed. Kornmeier reports the thief to the police, who only find the real Sörensen in his own house.
Kornmeier's wife leaves her husband because she finds the borrowed jewelry with him and also saw Kornmeier disappear with Hanni the day before. However, she locks the jewelry in a closet before leaving. In turn, Kümmelmann breaks it open in the presence of Kornmeier, who receives a summons from the police. Reason: misleading the police in the Sörensen case.
Hanni fell with the dress in the night, so that it is now dirty and torn. She is fired because of the broken dress, which Sörensen buys shortly afterwards, who finally knows who the unknown woman was the previous evening. Kümmelmann, on the other hand, is now doing everything in his power to pair them up, as he blames himself for all the incidents. In the end, everyone is summoned to court because Kornmeier wants to prove his innocence. Nobody, however, stands by him: Sommerbauer testifies that he was in St. Pölten and not on the Redoubt and his wife confirms it, as she saw him leave on the train. Sörensen's servant can swear that the only stranger in Sörensen's villa was Kornmeier himself and not a thief, as he claims. And Kümmelmann, who had been asked by Kornmeier during the negotiation to finally be quiet, promptly implemented this demand during the questioning. In the end, Kornmeier is declared crazy and sent to a psychiatric hospital - he is delighted that he can finally finish writing his novel. Sörensen and Hanni finally get together after all the misunderstandings through Kümmelmann's mediation.
