Willy, Kurt and Hans are broke from one moment to the next. The servants are all over the mountains, and the cuckoo sticks everywhere in the villa. The only thing they have left is their car, and they are now selling it in order to start a new life as a petrol station operator somewhere in the middle of nowhere, just outside Drögennindorf. It doesn't take long before the three fall in love with one of their best customers, the young and rich Lilian Cossmann. And she also finds the three very attractive. In the end, she chooses Willy, but of course things don't go quite as smoothly as Lilian imagines. Because when Willy discovers who is actually behind his career leap, he wants to quit on the spot... What makes a good operetta? A romantic (love) story, lots of bankruptcies, bad luck and mishaps, beautiful melodies that stay in your head for a long time, and the dream that – at least on stage – everything will be fine in the end. This is how the famous 1930 film became a hit in a country shaken by an economic crisis and on the brink of collapse. The Nazis banned the film and many of those involved fled into exile – but that dream has lost none of its appeal to this day.
