action

Hugo Bartels ( Heinz Rühmann ) is a registrar. So it is particularly difficult that he is divorced for the second time at the beginning of the film. He and his employer agree that Hugo will keep away from women in the future. On a comradeship evening he found like-minded comrades in two former naval comrades: the pharmacist Caesar Spreckelsen and the teacher Dr. Balduin Hannemann. Together they found the shared flat “Paradies der Junggesellen” with the stipulation that no female being should ever disturb her intimate trinity. However, Hugo immediately fell in love with the attractive landlady, Ms. Platen. In order not to break his word alone, he sets up his friends with his two ex-wives, Eva and Hermione Bartels. The plan works: According to the script, Caesar and Balduin fall in love with the previously instructed women - and vice versa.
