What happens

Roxy and the Wonderteam (German: Roxy und das Wunderteam) is a 1938 Austrian musical sports film directed by Johann von Vásáry and starring Rosy Barsony, Fritz Imhoff and Hans Holt. It is based on an operetta called Roxy und ihr Wunderteam. A separate Hungarian-language version was also produced. The title is an allusion to the Wunderteam, the acclaimed Austria national football team of the 1930s, and the film features an appearance by former captain Matthias Sindelar as himself. The film's sets were designed by the art director Márton Vincze. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
