Mariannes bryllup
Jørgen von Hejden is very distinguished, but poor. He is something of a fortune hunter. He dreams of getting rich quick. But his skills are not up to the radio quiz show, so he sticks to gambling, roulette, and dice games. When he marries the beautiful and wealthy Marianne, he also gambles. He has married her for her money! But Marianne is not only wealthy, she is also strong-willed. She inherited this trait from her father, shipowner John Christensen.
