action

Annemarie and Franzi are sisters and both earn their living as seamstresses in Vienna. Her brother Martin has been hired on a ship and works as a sailor. One day Annemarie met Count Rynon in the Prater, who actually married her despite all the differences in class. Franzi finds happiness in the engine driver Fritz and becomes his wife. Soon, however, dark clouds appear in the married sky of Countess Annemarie.

A marquis , a friend of the count, tries hard to mess with her, but is regularly rejected by her. When Franzi visits Annemarie at home, the nobleman tries his luck with her. He hands her a precious piece of jewelry, whereupon Martin reacts very annoyed. The marriages of the two sisters now threaten to break up. In order to give the annoying applicant for the favor of his married sisters the opinion, Martin seeks a conversation with the intrusive. The next day the marquis is found dead. Annemarie is suspected of murder, but it turns out that an unfortunate coincidence led to the death of the marquis. Finally, the two couples reconcile again.

criticism

In Paimann's film lists it can be read: “The subject starts well, but loses tension and logic after the second act. In the end it recovers. The portrayal is passable throughout, with Riemann and Vogt sometimes outrating. The presentation is clean, as are the photos. "
