The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios outside Berlin and on location in Vienna and the ski resort of Semmering. It was remade in the United States in 1934 with Fay Wray in the lead role.
Two struggling actresses are hired as extras to drive an expensive car while dressed in fancy outfits. Stopping at a winter resort, one of them is mistakenly identified as the "Countess of Monte Cristo", a VIP guest expected to arrive around this time. Rather than clearing up this misunderstanding, the two give in to the temptation and pass themselves off as members of the wealthy set.
