action
The successful young lawyer Thomas Bratt is currently planning to leave for his well-deserved vacation when taxidermist Benno Paradis enters his practice. Although he loves his wife Berthe, he wants to divorce her because Berthe is getting on his nerves. She absolutely wants Benno to try his hand at imitating animal sounds in a vaudeville show because she thinks he has a talent for it. Bratt has absolutely no desire for what he sees as a ridiculous case, but the future client is very persistent. And so he hands over the paperwork to the young stenographer Philine Dorn from the “Akademia” office. Bratt is immediately enthusiastic about the young woman, who refuses to accept an invitation to his country house. Only when Thomas pretends that he needs her there “purely on business” as a typist, is Philine ready to follow him there. There the committed lawyer falls in love with the young woman who, in order not to end up as the prey of a notorious philanderer, claims that she is already married. Philine has also discovered photos of other women in the country house, who have obviously been "towed" here by Thomas several times and confirm her decision not to get involved in this hallodri.
Back in town, Thomas cannot forget Philine. He does not want to lose contact and calls the "Akademia" without further ado. There he only reaches Philine's colleague Karla, who knows about Philine's trick with the fictional husband. When Bratt asks Karla who the ominous husband is, Karla sees Benno's file that Bratt has left on the table and then gives his name. This in turn has meanwhile changed his mind and does not want to divorce his Berthe after all. Benno has taken a liking to the idea of trying his hand at vaudeville imitating animal sounds. Bratt now puts everything on one card and visits his client to advise him to go through with the divorce from his alleged wife Philine. He even tells Benno that he had just been on vacation with her. When Philine learns from Karla what she told Thomas, she initially wants to continue her game. Philine goes to Benno and asks him to continue giving her husband to Thomas; Berthe takes on the role of housekeeper. But Dr. Bratt quickly sees through the character, and he and Philine ultimately become a couple.
