action
Hanni Weber is a secretary who tries to please her two bosses all the time. In the mornings she works in the office of the successful writer Wölfing, in the afternoons with the tenor Villanova. Due to the temporal separation, she has her two activities under control.
When Wölfing, who has already written a bestseller with the title Die Liebesschule , one day the proposal is made to write a book with the title Die Marriage School , the situation becomes turbulent: For that, Wölfing would first have to be married, because as single Author to write a novel about successful marriages would be dubious.
Wölfing got the idea that the most obvious thing for him would be to just marry his secretary. He quickly submits a marriage proposal to her, which Hanni refuses because she does not want to enter into a purely “marriage of convenience”. The situation is completely dealt with when her other boss, Tenor Villanova, also decides to change his lifestyle: He wants to end his existence as Casanova and finally get married. So it happens that Hanni receives a marriage proposal from him too. When the two learn that they are rivals , they both leave no stone unturned to appear as the better potential spouse in Hanni's eyes.

Reviews
"Superficial and hopelessly outdated UFA comedy about a secretary whose two employers, a writer in the morning and a singer in the afternoon, fall in love with her."
"Filmed in the Tyrolean winter sports environment, this romantic comedy was characterized by the good actors ... as well as by the beautiful music (Harald Böhmelt)."
