A grumpy baron wants to determine the choice of spouse for his children. When his son marries a secretary, he disinherits him. But when his daughter-in-law becomes his housekeeper under a false name, he is very taken with the patented woman … The family grotesque of the German author Jane Beß was praised by the press as a “seizure with laughing gas, which provides for relaxation and cheerfulness”.
