It is not easy for Gustl Kreuder as an entrepreneur. As a fire extinguisher representative, he has to work hard to craft himself and his wife Kathrin. In order to give her wife a little ray of hope and to gift her and himself with something, he claims to have bequeathed an inheritance from a relative living in the United States. This means at least a financial fortune from Ohio, a US state.As is often the case, more is given to those who have already done so, so that Gustl gradually develops a modest prosperity, which, however, is based solely on this deception. Suddenly, he has both a social and commercial demand.
