action

Thea Hackrath is the daughter of the wealthy and extremely conservative Consul Hackrath, who heads a large corporation. The young woman, who is always very controlled and a bit hypothermic, has a liaison with Dr. Korss, not only a senior employee of the Hackrath company, but also a married man, from whom she is expecting a child to top it all off. But her old man, for whom custom and morality and an orderly private and family life are paramount, must know nothing of all this. In order not to always have to lie to the consul, Thea absolutely needs a presentable man who can stand up to the bossy old man as her future husband and father of the child. A good opportunity arises when she meets the actor Heinz Horbach, who is not committed, who, unlike Korss, corresponds more to her age and could also have a pretty neat son-in-law. Korss and Thea now give Horbach the role of his life: for a fee of 30,000 DM, he is to give the future husband and father and agree to a fictitious marriage. Heinz initially rejects this tempting and immoral offer, but finally agrees to save Thea a major catastrophe.

The splendid wedding took place and the couple lived in Consul Hackrath's villa from then on. While the unscrupulous Thea her relationship with Dr. Korss continues, Horbach begins to feel increasingly uncomfortable in his role as a false husband. Things get increasingly complicated when Thea suddenly seems to have feelings for her husband. But he has long had an eye on Thea's younger sister, the thoroughly lovable, spontaneous, open and above all decent Christine Hackrath. The creaky consul finds more and more pleasure in his young and dynamic son-in-law, who thanks to his courageous efforts even saved the life of an employee in an explosion, and promotes his career in the family-owned company. However, this displeases Dr. Korss, because Heinzen's career advancement means his own standstill. And so he plans to kill the unpleasant competitor. However, he does not do too well, and the devious attack hits the unsuspecting Thea, who is killed in a car accident. Korss has to go behind bars for his criminal attack and Consul Hackrath chooses the former actor as his successor. He in turn steps in front of the altar with Christine.
