Plot summary

Inga works at an office with her fiancé Kurre. They want to get married, but can’t afford it. Inga doesn’t get along with her boss Enander, a man who bears an uncanny resemblence to Adolf Hitler. One day Inga is offered a new job with better pay. They can now get married, but there is a misunderstanding. Inga catches Kurre having lunch with his pretty female colleage Miss Hansson. Inga also learns that Miss Hansson invited Kurre to dinner, after both having worked overtime. He is angry that Inga doesn’t trust him. Inga breaks up with Kurre. When they some time later get stuck together in a lift between two floors they manage to reconcile.
