A car crashes, an expensive drill goes missing, systematic theft occurs in the department store, a murder happens. Police officer Wäckerli has his hands full and eventually even finds himself in mortal danger.

Farmer Heiri has sold his calf and celebrates his temporary wealth in the big city. But in doing so he is confronted with many temptations and dangers: pickpockets, second-rate artists and prostitutes who all try to grab the money of this naive man from Hausen. A 1978 recording of the well-known Zurich boulevard theatre piece.
