Synopsis:
Kurt Schneider is a superficial and fun loving character. Instigated by his mother he swindles his way into the legacy of a house and some money. Both Kurti and his mother are certain there are no legal heirs to the property. They are greatly surprised when Ilona, the legal heiress from a remote part of Yugoslavia, appears. Several attempts to get rid of her prove unsuccessful. Once Mama Schneider finds out that Ilona is also the beneficiary of a sizeable life assurance contract, she wants her son to marry Ilona. While trying to double-cross Ilona, Kurti actually falls in love with her.
