Good Fortune in Ohio

Gustl Kreuder is a salesman of fire extinguishers who struggled to make ends meet. To give his wife Kathrin some hope, he pretends he has received an inheritance from an uncle in the United States and can occasionally treat her. Word gets out and he soon finds himself in great demand socially and professionally due to his deception. While driving one day he sees a luxury American car in trouble and on flames, and rushes to help. The owner is so impressed that he places a very large order for fire extinguishers, proving that some part of the "economic miracle" was due to his deception. ==Cast==
