Der verarmte Graf Lerchenau arbeitet unter dem Namen Robert Lindt als Chauffeur. Er verliert jedoch seine bisherige Stelle, weil er bei den Damen so beliebt ist. Sein früherer Diener Ottokar hält immer noch zu ihm und versucht, Robert reich zu verheiraten. Im Restaurant allerdings, wo er eine passende Dame treffen soll, flirtet Robert stattdessen mit der reizenden Alice. Um eine Stelle bei Präsident Führing zu erhalten, gibt Robert als Referenz Graf Lerchenau an. Doch dann will Führing mit Lerchenau sprechen, und Franz muss die Rolle des Grafen spielen.
The impoverished Count Lerchenau works under the name Robert Lindt as a chauffeuer. He lost his last job, however, because women love him so much. His former servant Ottokar remains loyal to him and tries to get him to marry a rich woman. In the restaurant, where he’s supposed to meet an “acceptable” lady, he ends up flirting with the attractive Alice instead. In order to get a position on President Fuhring’s staff, Robert gives “Count Lerchenau” (himself) as a reference. But, of course, Fuhring then wants to meet Lerchenau to speak to him about “Robert” and Franz has to play the role of the count!
