In seinem Nachlass vermacht der Sonderling Feinsipp dem Portier Piesicke das Trabrennpferd "Amalia", dem Chauffeur Ferdinand seinen Wagen, der Köchin Marie sowie dem Zimmermädchen Bärbel je eine kleine Rente. Alle vier suchen nun gemeinsam eine neue Existenz zu beginnen. "Amalia" soll im nächsten Rennen starten, und Piesicke prophezeit schon den Sieg. Vom Rennpreis wollen sie sich ein Gartenlokal anschaffen. Aber das Pferd verliert und wird verkauft. Piesicke kauft für das Geld ein anderes Pferd, und das gewinnt auf Anhieb ein hohes Preisgeld. Doch trotz dieses Glücksfalls scheint die Freundschaft der vier durch Misstrauen und Eifersucht.

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.

THERE IS A NEWSREEL PREVIEW BEFORE THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 97 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL. RATHER POOR FILM QUALITY OVERALL.
