action
Because Gretl, the daughter of the village grocer Klaghofer, did not want to marry the Gruberbauer chosen by her father, she “fled” from her parents' house to Vienna and secretly married her admirer Karl Ewald. Both work as domestic staff in the villa of the bath salt manufacturer Felix Fritsch. The young couple is expecting their first child. All of these circumstances are alien to Klaghofer, since he always burned his daughter's letters unread. One day, however, a postcard reaches him, whereupon Gretl can be seen in "her" car in front of "her" villa. This causes the shopkeeper to visit his daughter in the big city in order to subsequently give her his fatherly blessing for marriage. When he arrives in Vienna, his daughter is out of the house. She has left the villa together with the young wife of her employer - she serves as a housemaid for her rule. Marga Fritsch got into an argument with her husband because he still had a relationship with the dancer Ada de Niel from his bachelor days and does not want to break his contact with her. When it became too colorful for Marga, she unceremoniously moved - accompanied by the housemaid - to her aunt Ottilie in the country.
Frau Kindermann, the housekeeper of the villa, thinks Klaghofer is the madam's father, and this misunderstanding triggers a number of complications: Klaghofer harshly dismisses a creditor of the bath salt manufacturer. Then he drives to the dancer and takes the jewelry from her; for in his opinion this belongs to his daughter. He disgusts his supposed son-in-law because of his women’s stories and demands that he give him his word of honor to put an end to cheating immediately. When Marga Fritsch comes home that evening, Klaghofer takes her for a love affair with his son-in-law, and he chases her out into the street. Then he discovers his daughter in the arms of Felix Fritsch's chauffeur Karl Ewald, which leads him to conclude that she is cheating on her husband too. Now he decides to leave the immoral home; but first he gives the landlord his opinion and gives him a slap in the face. After a horrified scream from his daughter, all misunderstandings gradually dissolve in favor. When Klaghofer then learns that he will soon be a grandfather, he can no longer be angry with Gretl.
criticism
The lexicon of the international film notes succinctly that the strip is an undemanding mistake game with a prime role for Hans Moser. The Evangelische Film-Beobachter comes to a similar conclusion: "Viennese comedy about disappointments and happiness of a provincial girl and her father [...] with the usual comedy."
