The Four Companions

Although times are bad financially, four young women decide to go into business for themselves together. Kate, Lotte, Franziska and Marianne open the advertising agency, "The Four Companions". All of them are graduates of a college of applied arts and their teacher, Stefan Kohlund, would have loved to marry Marianne right on the spot, if she had wanted it. In the meantime, Stefan has become the head of advertising for a large cigarette company in Dresden (cough, cough), while the four companions are waiting in vain for business. Ambitions Marianne personally tries to win the lucrative advertising contract offered by the cigarette company. While at the company, she finds out that the head of advertising is Stefan Kohlund and drops her plan. But when Marianne actually wins the contract, it is assumed that she manipulated Kohlung and rejected him once again. The firm is doing well; Marianne's friends have all found husbands; only she is alone.
