About This Book

[Ich möchte kein Mann sein]: A farce in which Ossi Oswalda as Ossi, a vivacious young woman whose ideas of fun -- smoking cigarettes, playing cards, dating boys -- unnerves her stodgy Uncle and stodgier Governess. When Uncle has to go to America on business, he hires the stuffy young Dr. Kersten as her guardian. Tired of being sheltered, Ossi disguises herself as a man and goes out to a nightclub.

[Die Austernprinzessin]: "Oyster-king Quaker cannot be impressed anymore. He is so rich that he even has a special butler holding his cigar while he is smoking. The only thing Quaker would be impressed by is if his daughter Ossi were to marry a real prince. He makes an offer to the poor prince Nucki, who sends his friend Josef to get a clear idea of the woman."-- Oliver Heidelbach (IMDb).

A hunchback and leader of the minstrel troupe loves her as well and opposes her sale to the sheikh. Meanwhile, Sumurun, the elder sheikh's beautiful concubine, has fallen in love with Nur al Din, a cloth merchant. The harem conspires to bring the lovers together. Desire, power, and jealousy are on a collision course.
