Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This buoyant Lilian Harvey vehicle was originally released as Du Stollst Nicht Stehlen. Harvey is cast as a cunning thief who falls in love with virtuous Werner Fuetterer. Hoping to gain access to Fuetterer's bachelor apartment without arousing the attentions of the cops, Harvey disguises herself as a man. For the hero's sake, she agrees to give up her thieving ways but is forced to return to criminality to save her younger sister from the clutches of a cad. Even without the benefit of music, Lilian Harvey was a delightful screen presence.
