action

The landowner and bachelor Philipp Klapproth, who finances his nephew Peter Klapproth's medical studies, one day receives a letter from him in which he asks his uncle for 20,000 marks . Peter writes that he wants to invest this money in a mental hospital. In truth, however, the nephew has completely different plans: he can neither see blood nor has he ever studied medicine at all; Instead, he and his music-loving friend Tommy devote themselves body and soul to their band. With the uncle's money, nothing would stand in the way of having his own pub and rehearsal room.

The catch: The skeptic Philipp wants to examine the alleged institution first before he pulls out the money, and without further ado goes to see Peter. In great need of explanation, he followed Tommy's advice and led his uncle to the Schöller Pension: This was “Peter's insane asylum”. They succeed in their mystification not badly: those who suspect “crazy” will all feel like normal and only slightly eccentric boarders. Therein lies the multiple situation comedy of the plot.

criticism

“The turbulent film fun pulls out all the stops of harmless entertainment; experienced performers do their best; funny door rattle in the pension. (Rating: 2 stars average) "

- Adolf Heinzlmeier and Berndt Schulz in the dictionary "Films on TV"

"Spasmodically comical remake of the old farce, this time revamped with numerous hits."
