Plot

Hans Paschke has been putting up with his wife for years. The charmer and womanizer Hans Paschke is good-looking and has perfect manners, but has nothing to do with work. But he knows how to skillfully bring his natural advantages 'to the woman'. His wife Marion tolerates his behavior until she catches him in flagrante delicto. The master goldsmith Elke encourages the now penniless Hans to enter into a marriage of convenience with the widowed doctor Marianne in exchange for a valuable family heirloom.
