Plot

Willi is born into the cream of Vienna society, rising through the ranks of the elite Royal Imperial Guard and becoming an officer. Always having friends and relatives in high places to clean up after him after he screws things up, Willi has no idea what being responsible is. With Willi's uncle, General Von Hertz, in charge of the military base where he is stationed, he know sthat whatever mistakes he makes, his uncle will take care of them. One thing Willi does not expect to happen is to fall in love with someone else, besides himself, and accept the responsibility that goes along with that.

At a party with his officer friends at a Vienna nightspot, Willi spots the lovely young music teacher Laura Taub. Later Willi sees Laura going upstairs to a room with big spender and notorious whore-mister[clarification needed] Herr Schnabel. Suspecting that Schnabel is up to no good Willi goes to see if everything is all right, only to hear Laura screaming inside the hotel room as she fights off Schnabel from trying to force himself on her. Willi puts an end to Herr Schnabel's advances by punching him. Taking the grateful Laura, who at first does not trust him, on a night on the town, Willi has breakfast the next morning at her apartment, though nothing serious happened between them.

After promising to see her again and kissing her goodbye, Willi innocently leaves a 100 Krone banknote on her dining room table. Helen, who has fallen in love with Willi, after seeing the banknote, now feels insulted by what he did, treating her as if she were just a one-night stand to him or even worse. Helen berates Willi when he comes to see her the next day, leaving him hurt and humiliated, since he has also fallen in love with her.

Helen goes back to the sleazy Herr Schnabel and becomes the kind of person that she thinks that Willi thought that she was, drinking, gambling and whoring around. Guilt-ridden by what he did to Helen, Willi tries to win her back from Schnabel. He challenges Schnabel to a game of baccarat. Schnabel beats Willi badly, leaving him 14,000 kroners in debt. Being too proud to ask his uncle General Von Hertz for the money and facing disgrace as a member of the Royal Imperial Guard, Willi has only one option left open to him: a bullet to the head.
