About The Love Potion
Pharmacist Peter Pille and Inger, the niece of Colonel Sejsberg, want to marry. The colonel refuses the engagement and dislikes men who court young women. Peter decides the refusal is jealousy, because the colonel has had no luck with women himself. He tries a homemade love potion on the old man.
