An operetta directed by Herbert Maisch.

Maria Kelemen is a secretary in the office of a bank in Budapest. Her boss, director Borden, courts her, albeit she is engaged to Paul (about which she has remained silent). On the day of the wedding, Paul becomes unemployed and takes on the role of a house-husband. During a visit at Borden’s, Maria introduces Paul as her brother, which incites raging jealousy in the latter.

The double standards of a social class, which pontificates with big words what is proper and improper in the world of morality, while in its heart thinks very differently and acts accordingly.
