C.R. MacNamara, un alto directivo destinado en Berlín Occidental, recibe el encargo de cuidar de la hija de su jefe durante una de sus visitas. Cuando MacNamara se entera de que la chica se ha escapado y ha contraído matrimonio con un exaltado joven comunista, y de que su jefe estará de vuelta en tan solo veinticuatro horas, no le queda más remedio que transformar al reacio revolucionario en un yerno digno; de lo contrario, ya puede despedirse de su ascenso. Pero en menos de lo que se tarda en decir "un, dos, tres", sus planes se le escapan de las manos y provocan un incidente internacional capaz de enfadar a los rusos, a los alemanes y, lo que es peor, a su propia esposa, que ya está con la mosca detrás de la oreja.

The friends Jochen and Gerd both work at the fashion boutique "Saxonia", which has only recently designed a new collection. Therefore, Jochen and Gerd are shocked when they meet two young ladies during their well-deserved holiday who are already dressed in two of the new pieces. And as if that was not enough, they pass the creations off as their own, even though they are employed at the competing company "Berolina". Naturally, the two men refuse to let the matter rest, although they do not actually want to raise a quarrel with the pretty ladies. After some turbulent entanglements they become aware of the foolishness of their squabbling and, eventually, the four of them present the disputed designs as a co-production at the fashion fair in Leipzig.

The story of Johann Friedrich Böttger, an apothecary’s apprentice and alchemist’s assistant. Fleeing from the Prussian King, he goes to Saxony, where King Frederick August the Strong takes him to a fortress and demands that he create gold. Böttger is equipped with everything he would need for the task, but he has known for a while that actual gold production is a myth and instead experiments with porcelain—white porcelain, as the Chinese are said to possess. In 1709, he finally succeeds in surprising the King with the "white gold," the first white porcelain made in Europe, he hopes for freedom.
