Synopsis

Paul and Peter are two old friends, both dentists, who run into each other after a number of years. Peter gets Paul to cover his practice while he goes away on his honeymoon with his assistant Ingeborg. Confusing matters, Paul falls for Ingeborg when Peter shows an interest in the attractive ice skater Gerti.
