Synopsis

A London banker makes a business trip to Venice where he falls in love with a woman who thinks her friend is cheating. They marry, but she soon gets bored because he's the "model husband"—the way she wished previously: he barely looks at other women. In turn no woman shows interest in him. Moral of the story: she said she wished for the model husband but unconsciously desires a Don Juan. Once he understands, he acts like one (a little) and she falls in love again.

The film was censored for youth by the Nazis.
