Heinz Rühmann, Hans Moser, Theo Lingen, Gusti Huber, Heinz Salfner, Gerhard Bienert, Reinhold Häussermann, Ferdinand Mayerhofer, Mizzi Zwerenz, Otto StormZoologiestudent Toni Mathis wird der Universität verwiesen, weil er die entscheidende Prüfung verschlafen hat. Sein Onkel und Gönner ist sichtlich enttäuscht und will ihn daraufhin gegen seinen Willen mit einer Landschönheit aus seinem Dorf verheiraten. Doch dann begegnet er der Trapezartistin Bianca und verliebt sich Hals über Kopf in sie. Ihr Vater, der Zirkusdirektor Zarratti, willigt aber nur dann in die Ehe seiner Tochter ein, wenn ihr Zukünftiger ebenfalls Artist ist. Nachdem Toni einige Zirkusnummern durchprobiert hat, bietet ihm sein Schwiegervater in Spe die Rolle des Löwenbändigers an. Die Raubtiere flößen ihm jedoch enorme Angst ein.
The Man Who is Talked About is the overly agreeable Toni Mathis (Heinz Ruhmann), a gent constitutionally incapable of saying the word "no" (or "nein," this being a German picture). Though he'd rather breeze through life without responsibilities or obligations, Toni agrees to study zoology in college because his uncle (Hans Moser) wants him to. Alas, despite the Herculean efforts by Toni's servant Hassler (Theo Lingen) to prepare his master for his final exams, Toni forgets to show up for the finals and is expelled post-haste. In desperation, his uncle arranges for Toni to get married, and once again our hero just can't say no. Trouble is, he falls in love with trapeze artist Bianca (Gusti Huber), whose father won't let her marry anyone except another entertainer. Undaunted, Toni studies a book on show business and tries out for the vaudeville stage, and the picture isn't even halfway over yet!
