DER VERKAUFTE GROSSVATER (1942)

Joe Stöckel, Josef Eichheim, Oskar Sima and Winnie Markus
$10.99
The unscrupulous dealer Haslinger has paid off a debt note worth 1000 Mark from the peasant Kreithofer and now wants the man’s farm in return for the debt settlement.  Then, suddenly, a rumor pops up that Grandfather Kreithofer is a rich man, who wants to leave his entire estate to his grandchild Lois.  Grandpa started the rumor to help his grandson out of the mess, who, as luck would (not) have it, is also in love with Haslinger’s daughter, Ev.  But no sooner does Haslinger hear of this rumor, that he wants the old man to move in with him, leave the debt to him and give permission for the kids to marry. 
 
Für eine Schuld von 1000 Mark, die er dem Bauern Kreithofer abgekauft hat, will der skrupellose Händler Haslinger diesen um seinen Hof bringen. Da gerät plötzlich Großvater Kreithofer in den Ruf, ein reicher Mann zu sein, der einmal sein ganzes Erbe dem Enkel Lois vermachen wird. Mit diesem Gerücht will er seinem Enkel helfen, der zu allem Unglück auch noch Ev, die Tochter Haslingers, liebt. Doch kaum erfährt dieser von dem Reichtum, will er den Alten bei sich aufnehmen, ihm die Schuld erlassen und erlauben, daß die Kinder heiraten.
