 Commercial attaché Dr. Dernburg is in love with Carlotta. But before meeting her he has to visit his brother Ralf. Ralf and his friend Charley are expecting two young Swedish girls. To retain them a little bit more, Dr. Dernburg disguises himself as Charley's aunt and becomes a good friend to them. But once the real aunt, Charlotta, arrives, the situation becomes quite complicated.

song: Amazonas-Mambo

 

The sequence not to miss:

The false aunt shall sing something, and so Heinz Rühmann dressed in a green gown and high heels is dancing tango. Was it planned that Hertha Feiler (his wife in real life) was nearly bursting by laughter?
