Synopsis
Feeling that his wife doesn't appreciate him enough Georg Romberg gets a divorce from Bettina, his eye caught by the cabaret singer Susi Lang. Bettina still harbours feelings for Georg so when she runs into the aircraft engineer, Julian who is about to fly off to Batavia, she decides to use him to make her ex-husband jealous. Throughout the day after their divorce Georg and Bettina keep being thrust together. Just as Georg realises he was wrong to leave her for the unreliable Susi, Bettina agrees to accepts Julian's offer to accompany her abroad. Then Georg turns up at her apartment as she is packing her luggage to depart.
