The early years of Germany's "Economic Miracle" saw many people living beyond their modest means by making extravagant purchases without cash payments. When bills accumulate, and a collector comes calling, the most common answer would be "come back on the first of the month". Almost always that's just an empty promise, but the best way to get rid of the person calling for back payments.
With the above main story line, the film is a multi-layered love story with the predictable happy ending. At least 2 very popular songs of the time are prominently featured, the most memorable being the up-tempo love ballad "Du hast mir gerade noch zu meinem Glueck gefehlt". Two small but endearing roles were played by Inge Meysel and Josef Offenbach, who many years later would team up as Herr and Frau Scholz in the legendary TV series "Die Unverbesserlichen".
Fans of this type of vintage German Cinema will be entertained by this enchanting musical comedy. A genuine feel-good movie!
