What happens

Paprika is a 1932 German comedy film directed by Carl Boese and starring Franciska Gaal, Paul Hörbiger and Paul Heidemann. Made by the German branch of Universal Pictures, it was based on a hit play by Max Reimann and Otto Schwartz. A French-language version and an Italian-language version were released the following year. It is also known by the alternative title of Marriage in Haste. In the US, the film was released almost 2 years later in German on 18 May 1934 in the Yorkville theater in New York City under the title Wie man Maenner fesselt (How to Charm Men). This was the debut film of actress Claire Glib, who was known also for The Yellow Flag (1937) and Robert and Bertram (1939). It was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Gustav A. Knauer and Walter Reimann. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
