Plot
The impoverished noblewoman Sophie von Angerspang has a big problem. Her younger sister Steffi is seriously ill with respiratory disease and therefore absolutely in need of a spa. Only the good mountain air in Davos, Switzerland could help, but unfortunately Sophie cannot afford such a stay because her job as a China painter pays too little. Therefore, she decides to marry the manufacturer August Polzer, who has been courting her for a long time. Sophie also doesn't hide the deeper reason why she accepts his proposal after all. Even under these circumstances, August is willing to marry Sophie because secretly he fervently hopes that a marriage of purpose and reason will eventually grow into a marriage of love.
The younger sister eventually marries a French man but gets seriously sick. Only after Sophie recognizes her husband's good heart, who travels to France and personally helps to care for Steffi do Sophie and August find love together.
