action
Peter Malmö is a man of the world, a bon vivant and charmer with plenty of title page experience who has already had seven broken engagements. He's bored of all the wealthy glamor girls who are said to be constantly following him and crouching. "They all always talk the same nonsense," said the handsome bon vivant. Maria West is the exact opposite of him: a down-to-earth and solid woman who has rarely left her home and runs her own hotel, the Marienhof, in Innsbruck. The first chance meeting at Innsbruck Central Station has no consequences. Both of them meet again in Rome, and the globetrotter, fascinated by Maria's unsophisticatedness, likes to show the Tyrolean the “Eternal City”. While Peter has to travel on to his boss in Naples the next morning, Maria, who has lost her heart to the attractive Womanizer in just one day, travels after him. Since Malmö's appointment has flown to Athens in the meantime, Peter and his new acquaintance travel to the Greek capital without further ado, even if Maria, who is vacationing in Italy, actually wanted to continue to Capri. Opposites are magically attracted here, and so the young fortune marries hastily in Athens. While Maria soon has to go to her hotel in Innsbruck again, Peter flies to the boss, the German-born, South American Haciendero Carlos Schmidt, who has escaped again (this time to Istanbul).
Peter is responsible for selling his boss Carlos' beef in the form of corned beef cans and is also engaged to his daughter Carmelita. Amazingly, Senor Schmidt is by no means appalled that his future son-in-law has changed his direction in terms of love and has married a woman West. He says much more: “You have shown courage, it's great that you showed my daughter that her head cannot go through the wall. She bullied me for 20 years and then you come and marry someone else. Great! ”Peter then drives to Maria's“ Marienhof ”. Here he has to realize that this lady is also very self-confident as a businesswoman. She prefers to rent rooms to wealthy men who work out opportunities with Maria. The presence of a husband, especially one as attractive as that of Peter Malmö, would be downright damaging to business. And so the beautiful husband is virtually denied and made “invisible”. If Peter wants to meet Maria at night, he has to climb into her room over the roof and climb back in the morning. He catches a cold, which does some damage to his ego. Soon Peter is fed up, he no longer wants to share his Maria with total strangers who are hungry for his wife, and leaves in a rage. What she can do, he has been able to do for a long time, and Peter thinks about a counter-strategy with which he can really get back at Maria.
The destination is his boss Carlos, who immediately takes him to a fashion show in Düsseldorf. Here he got the idea to make Maria jealous with some young beauties. He grabs some models with whom he wants to go on vacation at Marienhof. The young women are a real eye-catcher and the older men who are currently staying are instantly weak in view of their appearances. Maria has to watch with horror how her clientele becomes “unfaithful” to her and on top of that Peter pisses with one or the other girl, and that even with romantic-melancholy music. Maria is done with her nerves and is crying. Peter Boss and his father's friend Carlos appear on the scene and give her good advice. In love one cannot reassure oneself. Mary, who admits she has never trusted a man, receives the lesson of her life. She now knows what she has in Peter and who wanted to show her with his action and travels after him. And again both sit on the train, refined and richer in experience and knowledge.

Reviews
Der Spiegel wrote: “Hollywood director John Reinhardt has a modern love story with a played-back theme (adored hotel owner marries, but cannot announce the marriage so as not to lose guests) at an airplane's pace. After the amusing beginning, however, he had to expose the film couple Curd Jürgens (with his graying Vienna-Oxford charm) and Winnie Markus (with their apparently timeless natural charms to blondes) to the combined onslaught of German uniform film gags, film mannequins and comedians. You survive with difficulty. "
In the lexicon of international films it says: “Despite the poor imagination of the authors, quickly staged and photographed; an entertaining comedy. "
