Building contractor Rainer Patschold gets into financial turmoil by his own fault. Without thinking much about it, he has invested advances and loans for the modest 'Waldfrieden' housing estate in the large and promising 'Seydlitzdamm' project. Now, of all times, sales manager Wirsing plays the sick man, trying to show Patschold how irreplaceable he is for the company. To make matters worse, chief secretary Liebstöckel also drops out, collapsing under the double burden of work stress and an unhappy love affair. In addition to the business crisis, Patschold's private life is also under strain: his neglected wife is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and his demanding mistress Doris is closing in on him with bag and baggage. But the clever Patschold finally knows how to help himself with the help of his equally shrewd chauffeur Göhrke.

East Germany's contribution to the 1957 Cannes Film Festival was the wartime melodrama Betrogen bis zum Juengsten Tag. Had the film been released in the U.S., the title would probably have translated to Duped Till the Last. The film condemns the Nazi mindset by concentrating on a particularly odious cover-up. When his son is involved in the accidental killing of a girl, a Gestapo general pulls strings to save the boy from prosecution. The general manages to pin the blame for the killing on a group of Russians, whereupon he gives the men under his command carte blanche to round up and execute as many innocent Russians as they wish. This act of brutality is contrasted with the pangs of guilt suffered by the son and his co-conspirators.
