action

Heinz Sattorius leads an extremely relaxed lifestyle with bar visits, drinking bouts and lots of women. His good-natured, wealthy and indulgent uncle, the former captain Jonathan Frensen, made this lifestyle possible for the nephew. Since Heinz's cash is very loose, he has a lot of friends who take him to their hearts' content. One day it gets too colorful for Uncle Jonathan and he decides to turn the money off Heinz from one day to the next. Just as quickly as the previously unhindered source of money dried up, all of Heinz's “friends” disappeared overnight, and the young man now has to think about how he earns money. But neither as a dancer nor as a waiter is he particularly successful. Soon he is seized by naked despair.

One day Heinz met the Lehmann family on Wannsee , who ended up on a weekend trip here. Everyone gets along well and the Lehmanns invite Heinz over to their home. Heinz is particularly fond of the daughter of the house, Fritzi Lehmann. After all, Heinz is lucky in other ways too. In his suitcase there is a tie pin that he thought was lost and is obviously very valuable. He sells the precious and receives several thousand marks for it, with which Heinz acquires a modest country house with an attached poultry farm. Heinz wants to bring this to its peak together with Fritzi and her brother Wilhelm. Uncle Jonathan realizes that he did everything right, because now Heinz is finally standing on his own two feet, can feed himself and has even found a decent bride in sweet Fritzi.
