Beautiful movie star Edda Vivian has an eccentric idea. She puts one of her kisses up for auction at a charity ball. Among the interested parties is Wiesinger, the owner of a record company, who, without his wife's knowledge, hastens to withdraw a considerable sum from the family safe. As for the philologist Franz, who lives with Wiesinger, he is not at all interested. But mistaken for someone else, he - wins the auction.
