Tip auf Amalia

1940, German. Directed by Carl Heinz Wolff.

In his will, the eccentric Feinsipp leaves his porter Piesicke his race horse "Amalia", to his driver his car, and to his cook Marie -- as well as to his chambermaid Barbel -- a small pension. All four now try to begin their independent existence together. Amalia is supposed to race in the next show, for Piesicke has already prophesized her victory. With the winnings, they're going to open a beer garden. But the horse ends up losing and is sold. With the money, Piesicke buys another horse and this one wins a bucket load of money in a race. Yet, in spite of this stroke of luck, the friendship among the four of them starts to fall apart from mistrust and jealousy.
