==Plot==
Evi Koit, a typist from a humble background, and Gustav Mets, the son of a businessman, meet by chance on a train and fall in love. The young man's father, who is also Evi's employer, is completely against their relationship. He hopes to marry his son to a rich bride to save his bankrupt company. However, Evi then receives an unexpected inheritance, which turns the social positions of those involved upside down.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dollarid (1929) |url=https://www.efis.ee/et/filmiliigid/film/id/65 |website=Eesti filmi andmebaas |access-date=September 13, 2024}}</ref>
