Il professor Unrat si innamora della cantante Lola-Lola che si esibisce al cabaret "L'Angelo azzurro". Riesce a sposarla per seguirla nelle tournée, affrontando vergogna e umiliazioni. Di ritorno due anni dopo all'"Angelo azzurro", dapprima si rifiuta di dare spettacolo di fronte agli ex allievi che affollano la sala, e poi vinto dalla gelosia tenta di strozzare Lola-Lola.
