The story of a "little," well-behaved girl who plunges into the "sinful" big city and risks getting lost there – told with a lighthearted, comedic, and sentimental touch. The nameless girl is persuaded by an experienced friend to earn her own money as a dancer in a bar, just like her. The "little one's" father mustn't find out, as he wants his daughter to lead a respectable, bourgeois life. Therefore, his daughter pretends to work night shifts as a telephone operator and conceals her dancing from him. Unlike her carefree, "experienced" friend, however, the "little one" is careful not to jeopardize her reputation through morally questionable behavior.
