Warning: Spoilers
This was a funny movie even though I don't understand Austrian. The only problem was Rudolph Pracks acting don't have much excitement.In the beginning you see Mady Rahl over acting on the stage on some murder mystery and the male lead threatening to kill her, Then somebody behind his back shoots him, pretending to be dead.Rehearsal Ended.The twin brother directors are arguing about the play.Then Oscar Sima shows up and are looking over the theater. The director and the whole cast are wondering what's wrong. It seems that he represents the count business ,played by Rudolph Prack, affairs.The whole cast and directors are up set that he want to withdraw the finance of the Theator. So he 's calling the count at his place in Budapest and Hans Moser answer the phone to discuss the withdraw. Moser tells him he's not there, The cast come up with a way to stop this so they can present their bedroom murder mystery.Rudolph is having lunch with his friend the countess, played by Carola John.So after He leaves the restaurant at the hotel Sacher, all of a sudden a women in a wedding dress shows up begging for a ride,like she's late for a wedding. It's one of the actress ,Gondula Corte,trying to get him in a situation that he won't pull out the finance. Mady Rahl is already seducing Oscar Sima too.Well every time he try's to drop her off she makes up some kind of excuse to stay in the car.They stop at the gas station and the gas man congratulates her, As Prack leaves his friends in another car notices that there a women that is wearing a bridle vale. They ask the gas man and they think he's gotten married . They call up Hans and told him what they think is true . So Hans tells hard to hear aunt, played by Ida Wust, that her nephew got married. So they prepare a surprise to Prack and Corte they don't expect so as they come to his estate and go in they are surprised and forced . They are unable to convinced their friend that they aren't married. The actors were to show up and play half of their scene from the play to convince the count the to keep the theater. But they are late cause there small car is stuck on the mud. The actor trying to pull a the act on Pratte but it doesn't work and acts sarcastic against it.The Countess , Carola John, visits him and discovers the trick , when she goes to the bedroom only discovered that it was theatrical clothing, ?She later try's to confront Cortie with this.Evantually Gundual leaves the whole situation and tells Oscar Sima that's shes out.The whole cast is up set. They don't know how they are going to get a replacement . Hans Moser saves the day . He has a little talk with her on the street car or subway train. She returns to her role now a murder mystery, bedroom , Samba, Rimscky Korsicoff, type musical. Pratte and Cotre characters really fall in love with each other
