Contents

The film is set in 1955 in capitalist post-World War II West Germany. Shuckert is a local construction entrepreneur whose methods of gaining wealth include shady business practices such as bribing the local officials. His latest grand scheme is endangered with an arrival of Von Bohm, a new building commissioner who is faithful to traditional values. While Shuckert struggles to figure out Von Bohm's motive, Von Bohm gradually falls in love with a beautiful woman named Lola. They are attracted to each other and Von Bohm starts thinking of marriage. However, unbeknown to him, Lola earns her living as a cabaret singer/prostitute in a local brothel and most of Von Bohm's adversaries, including Shuckert, are her clients.
