The story

Fred von Wellingen, heir to a wealthy industrial family, falls for cabaret bartender Lia Toerrek and proposes to her on the condition that she dances with him. She accepts, but their engagement outrages Fred's aristocratic family, who disapprove of Lia's working-class background and her eccentric father, a former vaudevillian whose antics scandalize them at a formal dinner. To prevent the marriage, they offer Fred a lucrative contract and an esteemed title in exchange for breaking the engagement.
