After the war and the inflation, Susi Urban eagerly dives into the seemingly endless freedoms of the "Roaring" Twenties. The blonde braid is gone, "and now life can begin." The money she earns in her uncle Eduard's office or at the law firm of Dr. Müller is quickly spent by the young office worker with her best friend Mitzi: in the café, at the movies, or dancing. Susi is infatuated with the film star Conrad Veidt and loves Egon Lambert, a handsome and elegant law student from a good family, with whom she spends the hot summer days at the swimming pool, in the park, and at the wine tavern. However, when she loses her office job and Egon ends their friendship, Susi Urban begins to doubt herself and her previous life plan. The employee novel "Young Office Worker Takes on Other Work..." was first published in 1936/37.
