Plot


Germany in the mid-1950s: Dr. Seidel (Rühmann) is a successful teacher at a high school in a provincial town. Old fashioned and dutiful as he is, he takes on the challenge to teach a graduating class at a big city high school, when asked by the governmental school inspector. On arrival at his new working place he is hit by a student while trying to settle a quarrel among youngsters in the schoolyard. The beginning looks like an omen: his new class proves to be an unruly gang. While trying establish discipline Dr. Seidel makes himself quite unpopular; he is even faced with mobbing by a former student (Löwitsch), who is now a gang leader with criminal ambitions. However Dr. Seidel is made of stern stuff and step by step wins the respect first of one student (Kraus), then of all others, thereby ruling out the gang leader, and he learns to respect the students.

In a side story Dr. Seidel courts the older sister (Frydtberg) of a student but is defeated, so he falls back to a co-teacher (Löbel) living next door in the same boardinghouse. On the other side of his boardinghouse is a wrestler (Fröbe) who teaches him wrestling tricks in exchange for teaching "good German" as the wrestler proves to be illiterate.
