action

Toni Hauser doesn't like working in his mother's mill. His interest is almost exclusively in music. He would love to turn his hobby into a career. The previous singing lectures in his home village, however, have only proven to be a breadless art. When it comes to love affairs, the boy has his eye on the innkeeper's daughter Elsie Schaller. She often makes him look good, but not because she is in love with him, but to defy her strict father, who has nothing to do with the musician and wants to marry his daughter to a man she does not know.

Toni wants to try his luck at the theater in the big city. Together with his friend Edi, the lyricist of his songs, he sets off. Toni's landlady, Mrs. Müller, who works as a cloakroom woman at the theater, arranges a temporary job for the two of them, but only as a stage worker. But Toni does not tell his mother about this. For her he has the place on the stage. There she wants to admire him on the occasion of her 70th birthday. Rosi Földes, the theater director's secretary, has fallen in love with Toni and wants to bail him out. With a trick, she ensures that the singer scheduled for the afternoon performance has to keep another appointment and Toni can step in for him. But when the dizziness was exposed, the two stage workers were dismissed without notice.

Elsie's father has chosen the engineer Stefan Spessenberger to be his daughter's groom. After initial hesitation, she becomes more and more likeable. So it happens that the initial friendship soon gives way to real love.

Toni and Edi have found a job with a small traveling circus. They go with him from village to village and perform their songs in front of a small audience. However, this is far from satisfactory for the two of them. The rescue is not long in coming: The television broadcast Toni's short stage appearance, and his song has become a hit. Suddenly the music publishers scramble for Toni and his copywriter.

Toni and Rosi as well as Elsie and Stefan can look forward to a double wedding.

The buildings come from the film architects Max Mellin and Max Seefelder . Franz Baur-Pantoulier created the choreography , which was implemented by the dancers John Schapar and Heino Hallhuber .

criticism

“The rise of a village punk singer to become a record millionaire. A «musical folk piece» with apparently ironic ulterior motives - but hidden enough not to endanger the «cash register». "
