action
The Erlenhof in 1950: Mother Magda has been managing the farm alone with her three daughters Elfriede, Beate and Maxi since her husband Eduard's divorce 15 years ago. The farm is run down and the former tutor and current village pastor Krempel believes that selling the property is the best decision - if a buyer can be found at all. Magda doesn't want to hear about a sale at first and wants to keep her family together. When her eldest daughter Elfriede receives her admission to an art college and the second eldest daughter Beate also wants to study, she refuses both. Only 15-year-old Maxi is happy on the farm because she and Krempel are a couple.
One day Magda receives a telegram from Eduard in Argentina . He announces that he wants to take over the farm. He is also entitled to one of the three girls who will live with him in the future. Magda withholds the contents of the telegram from her children. A little later, Oskar Bollmann appears on her farm and makes her an offer to buy. Magda doesn't know that Eduard sent Oskar. Nevertheless, she rejects the purchase offer. She trusts that a loan from the Hasenherz bank will help her out of her dire financial situation. However, the loan is refused and so she has to sell the property to Oskar. She and her children find accommodation in the studio of the painter professor Toni Maria Hartwig, who is not only her childhood friend, but also wanted to take Elfriede to his art college.
All three girls have meanwhile vowed to set Magda up with a man. None of them want to fall in love beforehand. Soon, however, all three break their word. Maxi loves clutter despite the distance between them, Beate falls in love with Oskar and Elfriede loses her heart to Toni. Eduard appears at a large artist festival, who has meanwhile taken over the estate in Oskar's name. He doesn't want his identity to be revealed. Magda sees him at the party, but is not sure that it is her husband. Maxi goes back to the Erlenhof the next day. She wants to be close to Krempel again and applies to her father, whom she does not know, to work on the estate. Eduard recognizes her and hires her, but withholds his name from her. Magda is irritated that Oskar is no longer the owner of the property and becomes suspicious because the new owner does not want to announce his name. When Oskar asks Magda for Beate's hand, she throws him out angrily. Toni, on the other hand, receives Magda's blessing when he asks her to marry Elfriede.
Maxi and Eduard become more familiar, so that Maxi soon feels love for him. She is confused because she loves clutter and only wants one man in her life. Krempel, on the other hand, is jealous of Maxi's and Eduard's relationship. As they both ride out, Krempel runs angrily towards her and Maxi's horse runs away with her. She falls and is seriously injured. Only the old farm worker Lehmann explains to Krempel that Eduard Maxi's father is. Eduard, in turn, confesses this to Maxi when she wakes up from her faint. Now Magda also learns that Maxi is staying with her father. She sends Toni up to bring Maxi back. Toni, in turn, claims to Eduard that he is asking him for Magda's hand himself. In addition, as the future father of Maxis, he received custody. Eduard now drives to Magda, among other things to dissuade her from marrying Toni. The first meeting after 15 years becomes a rendezvous and after a short time Eduard and Magda decide to try again. At the end a double wedding is celebrated in Krempels church: Magda and Eduard step in front of the altar and Elfriede and Toni get married.
production
Three girls spinning was based on the motifs of the novel Three Girls on the Spinning Wheel by Fedor von Zobeltitz . The film was shot in the Berlin-Tempelhof film studio under the working title Drei Mädchen am Spinnrad , the outdoor shots were shot in Berlin-Waidmannslust and Berlin-Lübars . It had its premiere on October 27, 1950 in Hamburg . Out of consideration “for the wishes of those interested in foreign countries”, the original film title was changed to Conspiracy on Erlenhof , with the original title being added in brackets to the film title. In Berlin, the film was also given the title Mutti must marry .
The costumes come from Gertraud Recke , the film structures were created by Erich Kettelhut . Bully Buhlan sings the songs when I dance with blonde Emma Swing and We get along in the film . The song lyrics come from Curth Flatow , played by the FFB Berlin orchestra. Hanns Gérard synchronized the dance scenes .
Susanne Körber , the daughter of Hilde Körber and Veit Harlan , took on her first role in the film at the side of her sister Maria Körber . The film also marked Harald Juhnke's screen debut .
