For more than 50 years, Pauline Neuber has directed the "Olympia" theatre, but lately, business has been bad. It appears that no one will be able to make it better either: the audience doesn't seem to like the plays; the press even less so; and the shareholders of the theatre want to sell their shares. In short, the "Olympia" has one foot in the grave. Erich, grandchild of Pauline and always underestimated by her, gets to know Hella Bergson, the daughter of the theatre critic Peter Bergson, and falls in love with her - but doesn't have an idea whose daughter she is. He plays her some melodies from the first operetta he's ever composed and Hella convinces him to have the operetta performed in the "Olympia". During rehearsal of the operetta, however, a fight breaks out between Erich and Hella over a stupid misunderstanding.

Until now, the detective stories by author Paul Sanders had always sold splendidly – ​​likely due in no small part to the fact that he always tested all his murderous tricks on his long-suffering secretary, and that all the cases came from the archive of his friend Caspar Natter, a retired police detective. Sanders was all the more shocked, therefore, when his publisher informed him that readers were no longer interested in his books, a fact confirmed by the weak sales figures.

Kollege kommt gleich poster

Robert is almost the epitome of a head waiter: Politely and courteously, he informs guests about the goings on in the stock market as well as what’s going on in politics, the world of culture, and the economy. Now, Robert is in love with Lilo, the daughter of Hillmer, who owns a fashion salon, and wants to marry her. Lilo is all bananas for the idea. She doesn’t know what Robert does for a living; only that he does business with her father. The bananas turn sour, however, when she finds out he’s “just” a head waiter! She’ll never marry him; and like the cowardly superficial trash that she is, she asks her father to break the news to Robert.
