About Meyer from Berlin
Sally Meyer talks a doctor into telling his wife he is ill so he can chase women in the Austrian Alps. He dresses in what he thinks is Tyrolean costume and lands in the Bavarian Alps instead. At the hotel he pursues Kitty and, to impress her, agrees to climb the Watzmann. Near the summit his wife Paula and Kitty's fiancé Harry arrive from Berlin.
