Bezauberndes Fräulein (The Charming Young Lady) is a musical comedy in four scenes, similar in style to an operetta.
Ralph Benatzky wrote both music and libretto, inspired by the French farce La petite chocolatière by Paul Gavault.
The required orchestra comprises piano, flute, oboe, two clarinets, two trumpets, bassoon, three saxophones, banjo, guitar, percussion and strings.
They want to retire to sleep immediately after their last hand of bridge, but Paul is full of anticipation for the coming day.
Felix opens the door and is overcome by the beautiful form of the young lady standing in front of him.
The chauffeur sets out with Paul's housekeeper Julie on foot, to inform Annette's father what has happened.
Annette awaits accusations and blame, but Hektor appears quite relaxed — no word of reproach passes his lips.
Now Annette is angry; she can't stand Hektor's passivity and ends the engagement on the spot.
Two men are watching, concealed: the "chocolate king" and Felix; they have successfully pulled the necessary strings to reach the happy ending.

Other cast members included Ingrid Andree, Herta Staal, Gisela Fackeldey and Karl Schönböck.
