Es handelt sich um die Verfilmung der gleichnamigen Operette von Lehar, und es ist gleichzeitig die rührselige Liebesgeschichte zwischen Johann Wolfgang Goethe und der Pfarrerstochter Friederike Brion im 18. Jahrhundert, die mit Verzicht enden muss, weil der Herzog in Weimar, an dessen Hof Goethe gerufen wird, keine verheirateten Angestellten wünscht. 

Screen adaptation of the operetta of the same name by Lehar, as well as simultaneously showing the touching love story between Johann Wolfgang Goethe and the minister’s daughter Friederike Brion in the 18^th Century, which had an unhappy ending, because the Duke of Weimar insisted on his court employees remaining unmarried.
