Plot

Toni, the daughter of a rich hotel owner, is looking for a man who does not just want her for her money. One day her father sails his yacht on an inspection trip south and takes Toni with him. Dressed as a cabin boy, she meets young Bert Reno, who also owns a hotel and a small inn on the coast. When she meets him again on land in women's clothing, she claims to be the sister of cabin boy Anton. Toni is hired as a waitress at Bert Reno's hotel, hoping to learn if he is a good husband-to-be. Things get complicated when Mrs. Neubauer, a childhood sweetheart of Toni's father, arrives. Coincidentally, he sees his daughter Toni again when they meet in Bert Reno's hotel. Paulsen quickly understands that she is working here incognito and does not blow her cover.

Paulsen even goes so far as to be particularly critical of his daughter: he doesn't like anything that Bert Reno's new employee does. In these situations, Paulsen is gratified to see her boss sticking up for his new employee, hoping that this fellow hotel owner could finally be a husband for his daughter. Meanwhile, Bert doesn't want to lose contact with Toni's apparent brother, cabin boy Anton. For Toni, this means continuing the strenuous game of hide-and-seek that involves all sorts of disguises. If she has to play Anton now and again for Bert, she at least wants to use this role to warm him up more to Anton's supposed sister Toni. When Toni makes a terrible mistake as a hotel employee, Bert feels compelled to fire her. But he quickly realizes how much he misses the young woman. Bert finds out that Toni is Paulsen's daughter and rushes to the yacht on the quay to speak to Anton. Toni, who has just arrived there herself, is in the process of changing her attire when Bert bursts in. Only now does he realize that Anton and Toni are one and the same person. They fall into each other's arms.

Pommer judged that he along with several other old colleagues had avoided becoming too closely involved with the Nazi regime: "Certainly all of them have been proven to be no Nazis. Eberhard Klagemann seems to have been cleverly able to also stay away from the Nazis. He surely is an opportunist and therefore should be handled with care. Too bad, because he knows more about our business than all the others".
