What happens

Storm in a Water Glass (German: Sturm im Wasserglas) is a 1960 West German comedy film directed by Josef von Báky and starring Ingrid Andree, Hanns Lothar and Therese Giehse. It is an adaptation of a play by Bruno Frank, which had previously been made into a 1931 film of the same title, and, in 1937, in Great Britain, as, Storm in a Teacup. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut and Johannes Ott. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
