Also known as Morality, this German comedy makes light of the hidebound and hypocritical moral standards of the 1890s. Disturbed by the popularity of French can-can dancer Ernina Lamponne (Fita Benkhoff), a group of outraged German citizens organize the "Society for Raising the Standard of Morality." They enlist the aid of a local Princess (Roma Bahn), who considers Lamponne a threat to her own love life. The Society's noble purpose proves to be a sham when Lamponne uncovers several skeletons in several local closets. Moral was based on a stage play by Ludwig Thoma.
