At a festive reception for her fiancé Lord Horace Baxter in London, the wealthy American Constance Farrington learns that he hopes that marriage will help him pay off his £ 50,000 debt. Furious, she leaves, accompanied by Lord Baxter's sister Dorothy, who is on the one hand Constance's friend and on the other hand is supposed to bring the fiancée back to her brother. On the train going south, Constance opens her mail in the sleeping car and finds the letter from the ski instructor Toni Anewanter from St. Florian near St. Christoph , whom she knows from her last winter holiday and who fell in love with her. She decides to go to St. Florian with Dorothy - Dorothy telegraphs her brother from the train that he should send a man to St. Florian. Lord Baxter sends his former valet Jack.

The ski instructor Toni Anewanter is driving the young lady Germaine down on his back from the mountain, who adores him and tells him about his love letters when Constance and Dorothy arrive at the hotel for the post office.

While Toni denies having ever written her a love letter to the rescued Germaine, the hotel director Otto Wernicke and his hotel porter are already producing another letter - he lures women who have already been his guests with fake love letters, photos and the signature of the popular ski instructor back to his hotel.

Constance visits Toni in his shop, where he sells winter sports goods with his sister Anni, and meets him there with Germaine. After Germaine has left the shop sulking, she tries unsuccessfully to ask him about the love letter and then goes shopping at random - Toni is supposed to deliver everything to the hotel in her room. There she awaits him sitting in bed in a negligee . Toni immediately turns on his heel, puts the packages down in front of the hotel room, lights his pipe and receives the ski course he has marched and started, consisting of 32 women, five men and a paramedic in front of the hotel. The ski course moves to the "Idiotenwiese" singing, Dorothy and other women come afterwards.

Reviews
