action

The flea circus owner Charly saves the scrap dealer Schwarzenbeck from suicide on the rails. This had previously forced the tax officer Müller to tie him to the rails in order to protest emphatically against the high tax rates. Müller is still nearby when Charly Schwarzenbeck declares that he has never paid taxes himself. Therefore, Charly is attached to the flea circus shortly afterwards. Schwarzenbeck is now taking care of him, he needs allies in his fight against the tax office.

In a supermarket, Charly meets young Charlotte, whom he covers while stealing a can of tree wax. Charlotte uses it to maintain a little tree in the back yard of her house, which, according to the owner's wishes, should give way to a parking lot. The homeowner claims to have paid the loss of 50 marks per month caused by Charlotte's resistance; he threatens to cut the tree otherwise. 400 marks have been raised over the months and the first installment of 100 marks must be paid immediately. With a lot of luck, Charly wins 200 marks from boxing at the fair, which initially avoids felling trees.

Schwarzenbeck offers Charly a contract for board and lodging, but shortly afterwards he has to escape the tax investigation under the direction of the tax investigator Schmäkel. Shortly afterwards, he goes with Charly to a brothel, from which both of them escape disguised as women because they cannot pay. Disguised, they end up in a bar, which is also home to the heavily drunk scapegoat, whom they kidnap into Schwarzenbeck's house. Charlotte arrives there the next morning. All three drive to the green with Schmäkel and Schwarzenbeck tries to extort 100,000 marks from the tax office for the release of Schmäkel. In the office, however, everyone agrees that shame is not worth that much. Charly and Charlotte finally let Schmäkel go and use the time in the corn field to get to know each other better.

Schwarzenbeck is now planning a break into the tax office and the destruction of his tax file. For this purpose he hires some circus performers in addition to Charly. Schwarzenbeck searches in vain for his file in office; when he cannot find her, he causes several explosions. Meanwhile, a circus performer gets his hair caught in the mainframe computer, which messes up the calculation processes. The next day, the postman in Munich delivers numerous tax refund receipts from which Charly and Charlotte, who have since become a couple, also benefit.

criticism

“Despite some lengths and shortcomings, Werner Enke and May Spils achieved something rare: a German film in which one can really laugh,” said Der Spiegel . For the film-dienst it was woe when Schwarzenbeck comes “a comedy that is only partially successful. The thin-blooded story is only the framework for rather poor gags and sayings from Werner Enke. "
