The German Mascottchen was inspired by the Bromme operetta of the same name. Had the producers waited a few months, they could have included Bromme's songs, and thus spared themselves the slings and arrows of abrasive music lovers. Kathe Von Nagy stars as a Budapest salesgirl who, through luck and pluck, becomes a celebrated musical comedy star. Along the way, she does her best to help her boyfriend, a two-bit ham actor. The "hero" repays her kindness by leaving her for another woman, but by the third-act curtain he comes to his senses and returns to Von Nagy.
