What happens

Paradise for Three, titled Romance for Three in the United Kingdom, is a 1938 American romantic comedy film starring Frank Morgan as a wealthy industrialist who learns about his Austrian workers by surreptitiously living among them. It was adapted from Erich Kästner's novel Three Men in the Snow, published in 1934. Paradise for Three is the third of several film adaptations of Kästner's novel. It was preceded by the French film A Rare Bird in 1935. Other films bearing the title of the novel were released in 1936, 1955 and 1974. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
