Plot

Werner and Käthe Mathes' marriage broke down due to a triviality, so Käthe, now divorced and on her own, must look for a job that promises her a secure income. She finds one in the house of the wealthy Mr. Rennfisch, where she is hired as a companion to the capricious daughter Ivonne. In this upstart's household, she must endure many humiliations and degradation.

The height of impudence, as Käthe sees it, is reached when, after failing to find a suitable husband for Ivonne through a marriage advertisement, Käthe's ex-husband, an attractive academic, is targeted. Käthe, who still loves her Werner, is naturally determined to prevent this. She succeeds, because one day Ivonne falls in love with the much older but very elegant and worldly-wise Legation Councilor Dr. von Sedlin. Werner, who never stopped loving his ex-wife, finds himself back with her after all sorts of turbulent back and forth.
