The Good Fairy

Synopsis
Luisa is a young woman just released from an orphanage, whose innocence attracts the amorous advances of millionaire Konrad. To escape she tells him that she is married and when forced to produce a husband, she grabs the first name in the phone book. The unwitting victim is a lawyer, Max Sporum, who suddenly finds Konrad offering him a contract that will make him rich (Konrad hopes to impress Luisa with his generosity and then woo her away from her ?husband?).
