content

Daisy, the daughter of the millionaire toy inventor Hellmann, is a reporter for Damenwelt , a women's newspaper. In ever new reports, she wants to prove what a man really is: In a staged traffic accident with her boss Karl, for example, she counts the number of men driving past to prove that only a woman would stop and help in such a situation. Above all, Daisy's aunt is enthusiastic about the niece's journalistic enthusiasm, while her father reacts less euphorically, especially since Daisy's approach always provokes new warnings from the police about spreading public nuisance.

In a new experiment, Daisy wants to prove that a man would help a beautiful thief rather than an ugly one. She pretends to have stolen a bracelet and asks the jazz musician and conductor Peter Krüger for help from the police on the street. He brings her to his hotel, where his band is playing, and resolves to bring the alleged thief back onto the right path of virtue. She is allowed to sleep on the couch in his hotel room and he gets her a job as a singer in his revue . Daisy's experiment expands, as she can now examine "the man as a trainer " who more easily succumbs to a woman whom he believes he has "tamed" himself.

Peter, however, finds her journalistic elaborations in a closet and now wants to get her back. When Daisy invents that a former friend has been released from prison and that a chain he stole has never turned up, Peter again pretends the next day to have been to this friend who shot him in the arm and is now threatening to kill him to murder. However, as Peter pretends to absolutely want to get the chain so that Daisy can start a new, unencumbered life, she in turn lets her aunt know. She is supposed to wear the allegedly stolen chain in the vaudeville theater, where Daisy wants to steal it in front of Peter's eyes to prevent him from going back to the ex-convict. When Daisy's father finds out about this, he tries to force Daisy to finally give up her masquerade and informs the police that a jewel robbery is going to take place in the vaudeville.

When Daisy steals the chain from her aunt, as discussed, she is arrested by the police, who do not believe her during interrogation that it is actually her chain and that everything was staged only because of a newspaper article. Her aunt and Karl also abandon her and testify that they do not know Daisy for fear of imprisonment. Daisy is only released on bail the next day and by chance learns that Peter not only knew who she was all along , but also sold her manuscripts to her father for 10,000 German marks . She is beside herself and, in revenge, decides to marry her boss Karl. During the engagement party with Karl, however, it turns out that Peter only wanted the 10,000 DM in order to pay the bail for Daisy. So in the end Daisy and Peter get together.
