What happens

Kohlhiesel's Daughters (German: Kohlhiesels Töchter) is a 1930 German comedy film directed by Hans Behrendt and starring Henny Porten, Fritz Kampers, and Leo Peukert. It is an adaptation of the play Kohlhiesel's Daughters by Hanns Kräly, which has been made into a number of films. The film was a significant success at the box office, establishing the silent actress Porten as a sound star. Porten plays the role of twin sisters, one of whom is pleasant and vivacious while the other is boorish and crude. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Franz Schroedter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
