Plot
Erni (Marlene Dietrich), the daughter of a wealthy industrialist Gttlinger (Fritz Alberti) falls for a pickpocket Fredl (Willi Forst), but Fredl prefers Hansi (Nina Vanna), a prostitute at the Caf Elektric. Max (Igo Sym) who is a Gttlinger architect, loves Erni, until he discovers her relationship with Fredl. Recuperating at the Caf Elektric, Max falls in love with Hansi. Gttlinger also liked Hansi, so he fired Max. Max now lives in need with reformed Hansi, but leaves her when he suspects she has returned to prostitution. At the Caf Elektric Fredl stabs Hansi.
