Was Bin Ich Ohne Dich? (What Am I Without You?) was typical of the escapist musical comedies churned out in Germany during the Third Reich. The hero, Erwin Schwartz (Wolfgang Liebeneier) is a young composer. His pal Franz (Rudolf Platte) is an aspiring writer. Erwin's wife Pauli (Billie Bird) wants to be movie star, but he disapproves. Despite this, a big-time director goes ga-ga over Pauli and puts her in pictures, where she becomes an overnight sensation. Pauli's instant stardom has a chain-reaction effect on Erwin and Franz, both of whom finally attain show-biz success themselves.
