action
Elisabeth Klinger travels to Rome, where she got a job with a German company. On the plane she befriends the Italian boy Dino, who is unaccompanied in the plane. After landing, they part ways again. Rudolf Ahrens, who picks up Elisabeth, is enthusiastic about his new employee and offers himself to her as a tour guide. Because Rudolf Elisabeth isn't unsympathetic either, she likes to get involved. Little by little, a warm relationship develops between the two. However, this ends suddenly when Elisabeth begins to believe, due to a misunderstanding, that she is only a fleeting flirtation for her admirer. Without talking to Rudolf, she leaves him.
After a concert, Elisabeth meets the famous tenor Aldo Morani. For him it's love at first sight. At first Elisabeth hesitated to listen to his solicitation because she was still thinking about Rudolf Ahrens; but when she meets the singer's son, she immediately changes her mind. His son is - the little dino! Before long Elisabeth becomes Morani's wife.
A few years have passed since Elisabeth meets Rudolf Ahrens again. She now also knows that she wronged him at the time. The old love flares up again in both of them. Rudolf asks Elisabeth to return to him. Morani feels what moves his wife and how she suffers from it. Therefore he releases them. Ultimately, however, Elisabeth comes to the conclusion that her real place is at the side of her wedded husband and his son Dino.

"Modified new edition of the maudlin history of the Gigli film from 1935, this time however unabashedly mendacious and all around second class."
