Wenn Der Vater Mit Dem Sohne

Teddy Lemke and six-year-old Ulli are lodgers at Miss Biermann's house. Ulli believes Teddy is his real father and Teddy takes care of him as such. One day Ulli discovers a children's clown outfit in the attic and Teddy reluctantly tells the boy his story. Teddy was once a famous clown, and along with his son the team of Teddy and Teddy entertained the masses. But when his young son (and clown partner) accidentally died, Teddy forever went into retirement. Ulli convinces Teddy to come out of retirement. The two join up as a man and boy clown team in the spirit of the original Teddy and Teddy. They are an instant success and everything seems to be idyllic but then Teddy receives word that Ulli's mother, now married, wants her boy to come live with her in America. Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne features Heinz Rühmann, Germany's best-loved actor, at the pinnacle of his career.
