Once upon a time, young people did not marry like today, only for love. Because if the love was there and they couldn't create their existence for it, then they must have faithfully waited until they had something to support themselves and the family. Gábor Kórody, an engineer without a job, and Magda Szabó, a poor country girl, have been engaged for years when their seemingly unbelievable dream finally comes true. Gábor gets a job through Magda's acquaintance. They set off happily, but an unfortunate incident disrupts their happiness, and may even make it impossible forever. Arriving in Budapest at the train station, Gábor somehow ends up in a brawl with a gentleman who happens to be the same "car king" from whom he got the job - such is one's luck. But Gábor has his own wits. He sends his friend, Máytá Tavaszi, who happens to be a pharmacist, to replace him at his new job.
