Molly Pink (Scilla Gabel) is a secondary antagonist in the 1967 Austrian comedy film "Das Große Glück", which is translated as "The Big Luck".
After the retirement of world skating champion Marika Kilius, her partner Hans-Jürgen Bäumler (Hans-Jürgen Bäumler) decides to give up skating. However, Baumler's promoter/manager Wallace does not want to give up his big money maker. In addition, he makes a bet with Baumler that he can't get a job outside of skating that makes him more money. If he loses the bet, Baumler has to sign with Wallace in a contract and agree to a spot in an upcoming ice review. As a result, he hires the services of the beautiful but simple-minded Molly Pink to sabotage Wallace's plans.
Molly is an unemployed starlet, and her job is first to persuade Baumler from his plans of becoming a singer. She attempts to thwart any potential work that he can obtain.
In a press conference, Molly is to pretend to be his girlfriend, and at the same time attempt to annoy his female fans. However, Lilo (Uschi Glass) who also works for Wallace (Gunther Philipp), overhears everything and prevents the plan by faking a fainting spell on the evening before the stage.
Baumler becomes friends with journalist Teddy Helgers (Gerd Vespermann), who is secretly in love with Molly. Teddy suggests that Baumler and and Molly mimic a couple in front of the press, since he has repeatedly been portrayed in the newspapers as the desperate lover of his old partner Kilius.
Next Baumler takes a job in the renowned advertising agency "Universale" and turns out to be a surprising talent. Wallace does not give up, and spins a job with the help of Molly that costs Baumler his job. Baumler is entrusted with the lucrative contract of millionaire shipowner Nic Parnassis (Fritz Hancke), who is allergic to low plunging necklines. At a party, Wallace hires the permissive Adelaide (Dunja Rajter), who secretly pretends to be Baumler's companion. It ends up that Adelaide and Parnassis are from the same Greek village and therefore, the setup fails. Regardless, Baumler ends up quiting his job and goes into hiding.
Marika Kilius (Markia Kilius) finds him and persuades him to perform at the Ice Review with her. In the meantime, Molly is continuing to pass herself off as Baumler's girlfriend. However, Lilo and her co-worker Mrs. Kleinschmidt (Edith Hancke) do all they can to sabotage Molly. They delay her entrance by taking her fur coat away from her.
During the performance, Baumler learns that Molly was the wrong girlfriend, and was behind all the sabotage. He decides to marry Lilo. In addition, he wins the bet with Wallace, since he was offered a lucrative contract in the advertising company.
