Plot

It is a bet that sets the action in motion. In the Central Theatre's corduroy wardrobe, an extremely lively discussion arises one evening between the beautiful and energetic Mette Madsen and her comrades. The girls have, as usual, discussed the problem with men, and Oda, a beautiful girl, full of sex appeal, claims that Mette, who by the way is an excellent chairman of the Kordamers' organization, is completely devoid of "oomph" and does not exercise any attraction to men. The bet is made and the three "victims", who must of course be unmarried, are chosen from the phone book.
