action
Paris around 1880. Susanne de Montebello is a sought-after and capricious woman who knows exactly what she wants. She says that after years of dissolute amours, a husband is now needed, and one that she can afford financially. She has already picked out a suitable candidate: the very rich Peruvian gold mine owner Don Manuel Carcocastilla, who also looks quite presentable. In order not to make any mistakes on the way to the altar, Susanne got help from her confidants: her servant, who is supposed to play the role of her uncle and who is also the guardian of virtue.
The first meeting between Susanne and the South American Croesus is carefully arranged, but it turns out to be quite sobering. Don Manuel is more interested in a loose love affair than in a permanent marriage. The solid and honest Eusebius, who earns his living as a pharmacist, comes into play as the second choice. This honest man is very much in love with Susanne, but has no idea that he is only supposed to make Don Manuel jealous. After a few more complications, Susanne succeeds in stepping in front of the altar to her own satisfaction.

Producer Friedrich Pflughaupt also took over the production management. It was his last film. Walter Haag created the film structures, Alfred Bücken created the costumes.
The jewelry seen in the film was not worthless film props, but rather real gemstones from the house of the Hamburg jeweler Wilms. During the shooting, the treasures were closely guarded by a Wilms bodyguard and two policemen.
The same material was filmed at the beginning of 1945 as The Great Susanne , but not completed.
criticism
The lexicon of the international film says: “A Parisian cocotte at the turn of the century plans to capture a very wealthy Peruvian for marriage and hires her servant as an uncle, who ostensibly has to watch over her virtue. Musical burlesque. "
