action
The successful playwright Robert Orban, to the regret of his publisher and director, has withdrawn to his country estate for more than two years and has hardly been heard from. When he visits the two men again after such a long time, they also find out why. Two years ago his life changed overnight. While walking in the woods, he caught his wife Ella in a log cabin in the woods - and she wasn't alone. On this occasion he made the acquaintance of a very young girl who, after the death of her grandfather, lived there completely isolated from civilization. It took some strength for him to get Marili, as she called herself, to leave her hut and come to the small town at the foot of the mountain. Robert made sure that Marili learned everything it took to turn her into a young lady. She learned how to use a knife and fork, how to dress tastefully, and in addition to language lessons, she also received everything else that an educated young girl needs.
When Orban's estate manager, who had been appointed as Marili's uncle as her guardian, expressed concern that Marili might have fallen in love with Orban, the author dismissed it. Nevertheless, he tried to lure Marili out of the reserve, but was confirmed by her reaction in his suspicion. When Marili made the acquaintance of the young actor Peter Markwart, she apparently fell for his oaths of love, which he had borrowed from Orban's last play. The young woman really wanted to go to the city and the theater. Since she could not be dissuaded, Orban gave in. The experiences that Marili had there were disappointing, so disappointing that the young woman let herself be carried away to stage a performance that could be called scandalous. When Orban intervened and took Marili aside, she confessed that she had loved him from the beginning, but that she wanted to hide it. Now even Robert, who had long since been divorced, no longer had to hold back with his feelings for Marili.
When Orban has reached this point in his story, the door opens and a lovely young lady enters - Marili, now Robert's wife. It is clear to the two men, who followed the story of its author, that Orban's new play will be a success, when they see the young lady. And Robert Orban immediately seized the opportunity with his presence of mind to demand a not inconsiderable advance payment on his new piece.

criticism
The lexicon of international film criticized the following: “An attempt at a comedy that tries to parody the success of the film Stefanie (1959); the irony of the direction, however, remains fuzzy and perishes in the banal. "
For Cinema , the film was a “very banal 'My Fair Lady' copy”.
