Plot outline Celebrated singer and movie star Edda Vivian ( Haid ) , who has secretly married her lover , Prince Alba ( Iván Petrovich ) , has arrived in Vienna as part of a promotional tour . Her manager , Toni Miller ( Lingen ) , who is completely unaware of her married state and the husband she is hiding in her hotel suite , has arranged a publicity stunt —an auction to be held at a ball where Edda Vivian is supposed to give a kiss to the highest bidder , with the money to be given to charity . At the same time Franz Angerer ( Rühmann ) , a student of philology , arrives in Vienna , where he wants to attend a conference . He is put up by his Uncle Ferdinand ( Karl Hellmer ) , who works as a butler for Direktor Wiesinger ( Moser in rather an unusual role ) , the owner of a record company . In the course of the action Angerer is mistaken for several other people , in particular Prince Alba . However , he only has eyes for Wiesinger 's daughter , Dore ( Susi Lanner ) . The happy ending consists in the real Prince Alba showing himself to the public together with his wife Edda Vivian , and in Franz Angerer , who by his wit has made her sign an exclusive contract with Wiesinger 's company , becoming engaged to Dore .
