Some of the film was shot by the assistant director Viktor Becker. It was shot partly at the Sievering Studios in Vienna. It premiered at the Gloria-Palast in Berlin shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. The film's sets were designed by the art director Kurt Herlth and Werner Schlichting. The plot revolves around art fraud with Forst playing the dual role of twins, one honest and the other corrupt.
