Das einfache Mädchen

The newcomer actress Caterina Bastiani is to take on the lead role in a musical - for her, the chance of a lifetime. The author of the novel, however, thinks little of his material being turned into a musical and also thinks little of Caterina. When, by chance, she meets a maid who has applied to work for the author, Caterina takes over her role and introduces herself to the writer's household - which does not remain without consequences.
