Professor Gollwitz, a provincial high school teacher troubled by financial and family worries, has been obsessed with theatre since his youth, which he keeps secret. One day, he meets theatre director Striese during lunch at the local inn, who is stranded in the small town with part of his travelling theatre troupe due to a storm. In a conversation with the professor, Striese learns that the teacher wrote the play "Der Raub der Sabinerinnen" during his student days and has kept it hidden from his wife. However, since Striese is always on the lookout for playable pieces, the quick-witted director eventually manages to coax the initially reluctant author into bringing the work to life. As his wife is currently away at a health resort, the professor finally agrees to a premiere of his work. However, his name must not appear on the posters under any circumstances. Theatre director Striese begrudgingly agrees to this demand, and immediately the unlikely duo begins rehearsing to the delight of the audience. But even before the play sees the light of the stage, the professor's wife unexpectedly returns from the spa, leading to a family catastrophe. The brothers Schönthan created a true theatrical monument in 1883 with the farce about the Roman tragedy and its quirky characters. Theatre director Striese has been portrayed by generations of prominent actors, such as Albert Bassermann, Rudolf Platte, Gustav Knuth, Gert Fröbe, and Willy Millowitsch. With pointed misunderstandings and many confusions, "Der Raub der Sabinerinnen" is still considered the most beautiful love declaration to theatre to this day!
