What happens

Marriage Strike (German: Ehestreik) is a 1930 German silent comedy film directed by Carl Boese and starring Livio Pavanelli, Maria Paudler and Georg Alexander. The film's sets were designed by the art director August Rinaldi. It was made at the tail-end of silent film production, as sound film was rapidly taking over. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
