action
Scampolo, an unemployed orphan girl, earns a few groschen by occasionally delivering laundry packages for Ms. Schmidt's laundry. This time she should not only bring parcels to the “Pension Royal”, but also collect outstanding money from the unemployed and meanwhile penniless ex-banker Maximilian. He sends her to his friend, the rich banker Philipps, whom she doesn't meet until she is back at the pension. Fascinated by Maximilian's posh demeanor, in addition to the laundry, she also gives him money to pay for his room by pledging her most precious possession, a pair of cufflinks. Scampolo claims to Maximilian that she got the money from Philipps. The banker, who happened to be visiting Maximilian's room, was fascinated by the hoax. Scampolo not only adores Maximilian as a prince charming, she also wants to tear him out of his lethargy. First, she persuades him to open a language school in order to be able to use this income to pay off his debts. Nevertheless, she allows herself to be courted by both Gabriel, the guesthouse's waiter, and Philipps. When she unjustifiably picks up the phone in Philipps' office and receives a stock market tip, she sends Maximilian to him through Gabriel, so that the ex-banker can get back to business with his friend and become a rich man.
Scampolo accompanies Maximilian, who, now again Philipps' partner, is flying to London on stock exchange deals and also wants to settle down there, together with her future groom Gabriel to the airport to see Maximilian off. In his chivalry, however, Gabriel Maximilian reveals who he owes the stock market tip to and Maximilian finally understands how Scampolo feels about him. Without further ado, he pulls the young woman on the plane and takes her to London.
