Overview

Prim professor Immanuel Rath finds some of his students ogling racy photos of cabaret performer Lola Lola and visits a local club, The Blue Angel, in an attempt to catch them there.

However, his marriage to a coquette -- whose job is to entice men -- proves to be more difficult than Rath imagined.
