Three ordinary, disillusioned citizens decide to rob an armored car.

The chemist Tomschläger uses his friend Kirchhoff to conduct dirty business.

Karin is married to a pharmacist. Happy? She doesn't know herself. In any case, she is bored and feels more than restricted in her development by her dependence on her husband, who is 18 years older than her. When she meets her school friend Dr. Henrich one day, it is the impetus to free herself from the marital cage. The young, attractive hotel employee Gisa is completely different. She lives her life independently of the influences of others and enjoys her youth to the fullest. When Gisa and Karin's paths cross one day in a hotel, it has dramatic consequences.

The extravagant funeral for a suddenly deceased family man is attended not only by his bizarre relatives, but also by a frozen pilot from World War I and a group of rebellious teenagers. Ultimately, the grandfather blows them all up. A cheerful German disaster movie that pokes fun at the symptoms of decay in bourgeois society.
