Plot
[edit]High school professor Gollwitz wrote a play as a student, which he now describes as a youthful sin. The Schmierentheater director Emanuel Striese, who is struggling with numerous problems in the ensemble and is also not well off financially, finds out about it and wants to perform it with his family. He is able to persuade Gollwitz, who only agrees on the condition that he is not named and that his wife does not find out. Of course, the wife comes back from vacation early and everything is going completely differently than planned. In the end, Ms. Striese has a saving idea.
