The life of the young clerk Karl Fribert is right on track. He holds a trusted position in a reputable bank and is secretly engaged to the lovely Miss Gudrun, who works at the same place. But then something happens to wreck the young man’s life: he falls head over heels in love with the theatre prima donna Lydia – a woman who puts wealth above true love. The lives and happiness of three human beings are affected by the disastrous consequences.
