Plot

Impresario Zwickel (Rudolf Platte) fears for the preview of the new operetta. One day remains to complete the fragmentary opus. The complete finale is missing. While Zwickel is plodding to bring the dawdling composer duo Jupp (Willy Fritsch) and Juppi (Hardy Krüger) Holunder up to speed, there is mobbing going on behind the scenery: chorister Maria Schippe (Sonja Ziemann) accuses diva Rose (Anny Ondra) only to strike false notes. When the offended star refuses to enter the stage, Maria gets her great chance.
