What reads on paper like a ‘lovable Viennese comedy with local colour’ (Paimann's Filmlisten) is in reality one of the ‘most important anti-Jewish propaganda films of the Nazi era’ (Erwin Leiser): At the beginning of the 20th century, a Jewish textile wholesaler wants to expand his power - to do so, numerous small business owners have to take the fall. But one of them puts up a fight ... 16-year-old Oskar Werner appears as an extra.
