Einbrecher (Burglars) is a vehicle for Lillian Harvey and Willy Fritsch, designed as a follow-up to their copacetic pairing in Drei von der Tankstelle. Like most operettas of this nature, the plot is the film's least important element. The story has something to do with an ingenuous young bride (Harvey) who gets involved with a gang of Runyonesque underworld types. One of the crooks, played by Fritsch, falls in love with the girl and vows to deliver her back to her husband. Featured in the cast is Viennesse stage actress Margarethe Koeppke, whose supporting role was pared down after her untimely death.
