action
Marlies Nathusius and Hans Haeberling have known each other since childhood. But somehow the two (as a couple) never really got together, and you just stayed in contact as “good friends” who can say anything to each other. But now there is a major alarm both in the Nathusius house and at Haeberlings. Because the two young adults should be bonded, but not into each other! Ms. Nathusius absolutely wants her daughter, who is currently raving about the opera singer Enrico Battini, to be married to the well-groomed boring Traugott Himmelsteig. With his parents, Edwin Himmelsteig and his wife, she has already "come to an agreement". Marlies is horrified and refuses. For this there is house arrest. The brisk Hans is not doing much better. Because his parents have chosen a bride-to-be for the so far unattached Filius, namely the brittle Agathe Gackstetter, who comes from a good family but is just as odd as her last name sounds. Hans has long since had someone else in his sights: he is fond of the dancer Sylvia Gaden. Since his father, Mr. Haeberling, disagrees with this election as well as Mrs. Nathusius with that of Marlies, he too was given house arrest. The two caged neighboring “children” now begin to communicate with each other via the balcony. You promise each other help in conquering the respective dream partner.
And so you come up with the ingenious idea of a pact: Both decide to marry each other and thus enter into a marriage of convenience for a limited period, not least in order to dig the water away from the parents with their marriage plans. Marlies and Hans intend to marry before the engagement of Marlies to Traugott and that of Hans to Agathe can be announced at the annual summer party. Ms. Nathusius in particular is appalled by Marlies' decision, as Hans Haeberling is considered a first-rate heartbreaker. Hans and Marlies firmly plan to get a divorce soon after they get married. The marriage should only exist on paper, so a completely asexual relationship. In order not to appear duped and rejected, Traugott and Agathe decide to marry too. Hans and Marlies hold on to their intention to separate even during their honeymoon and plan to get together with Enrico and Sylvia after they return home. But finally the two realize what they have in each other, and the marriage of convenience turns into a deep love relationship.

useful information
Hertha Feiler and her film partner Weih sing the popular film hit I'm fine . The composition was so popular that it was regularly played as a song of encouragement in the NS wish concert during the Second World War.
Contrary to what can sometimes be read, Lauter Liebe has no context in terms of content with Rühmann's predecessor production Lauter Lügen .
reception
After previewing the strip in his diary, Film Minister Joseph Goebbels gave a succinct verdict : "A little thin, but clean and atmospheric."
"Love and social comedy with a minimum of substance and realism, but staged in a relaxed and humorous way."
