For love or money

Radnam, a young man who is deeply in love with Fanny and wants to marry her very soon is fired from work. He finds himself penniless all of a sudden and , therefore, unable to make his dream come true. Fanny, who reciprocates his love, tries by other means to help him marry her. She lets herself be persuaded by Linda, a professional matchmaker and a trickster, to marry an old rich man named Olkim, and inherit his wealth after his death. The wait won?t be long, as she says: Olkim has cancer at its last stage and won?t live long to see the year out. Fanny marries the old man and, in league with her young lover, waits for his death. What follows depends on a number of tragic events, partly on a war which bursts out and sends everything topsy-turvy, including Olkim?s gold and the rest of his wealth.
