Heiratsschwindlerin mit Liebeskummer
Kiosk owner Therese doesn't have a lot of money, but so far it's still been enough for her and her 15-year-old daughter. But then it comes to a head: her landlord and the tax office suddenly demand a sum that Therese cannot afford with the best will in the world. In her distress, she resorts to an illegal trick with a guilty conscience: she places a personal ad under a false name in order to get money from strange men.
