Paul Martin shot the first in 1943 under the title Beloved Treasure .
action
The starting point of the plot is a love letter discovered by math teacher Karl Stieglitz with Brigitte Schneider, the daughter of Felix Schneider. Full of moral indignation, he calls for clarification and visits the family. Brigitte forces the maid to pretend to be her mother. The professor mistakenly left the letter with Schneider's belongings, so that his wife later found it and, because of the contents, placed a lover under her husband's position. Schneider's mother-in-law firmly advises an immediate separation. Together with Paul Fellmeyer, Schneider came to the decision to hire a "lover" that did not actually exist and to present it to the wife to show that it was apparently not worth the thing.
Due to further confusions and errors, however, two alleged lovers finally appear, which means that not only Paul Fellmeyer is suspected of having an additional liaison, but also the mother-in-law of this as incontrovertible evidence of Felix Schneider's profligacy and viciousness; the separation is sealed.
The climax of the comedic hustle and bustle in the scene for solving a math problem is achieved by Schneider and Fellmeyer, who, heavily tipsy with alcohol, write each on one side of a double door; the results couldn't be more different. Looking at the creation date of the letter, Felix Schneider's innocence finally emerges, and at the same time his mother-in-law is exposed to her “shame” as the author of the letter.
