The wealthy factory owner's son Wolf Kruse doesn't think much of work. He prefers to take part in every sporting competition he learns about, be it car races, boat races or horse shows. His long-time girlfriend, the designer Brigitte, has not been impressed by this for a long time, as she wants a man who works honestly and can put his life on a stable basis. She therefore refuses a marriage proposal from Wolf. Only when he works properly can she imagine marrying him.

Wolf is now trying to find work. His father Karl immediately throws him out of his office when he hears that the reckless son wants to take over his company. So Wolf started out as a porter in a wholesale market hall, eventually becoming a detective, swimming instructor, advertising figure and serving staff. He cannot stay long in any of the jobs and is either fired or gives in to Brigitte's objections, for example, who is not happy to see him as a swimming instructor for numerous women. But not only Wolf has problems: his niece Renate is also worried if her father Leo - a partner in Karl Kruse's company and married to Wolf's sister Therese - doesn't want to meet her new boyfriend Bobby under any circumstances. He considers him to be a crude, possibly guitar-playing do-it-all, while he's studying graphics and, together with his friends, converting an old shed into a youth club. So Wolf gets Leo to employ his good friend "Robert Berger" in his company without Leo knowing that Robert is really Bobby. He is enthusiastic about Robert, but one day secretly follows Renate to the youth club that is just opening. The ailing club collapses and Leo learns that Robert is Bobby and is horrified.

Wolf has once again got a new job: he drives Brigitte and her mannequins to Italy as a bus driver , where a fashion show is to take place. On the way they take Bobby and Renate into their bus, who wanted to go to Italy secretly by Vespa and broke down halfway. The couple Wolf and Brigitte get together again in Verona , but the mood is clouded when Wolf unceremoniously steps in for a sick driver in a boat race and wins the race.

In his time as a packer and detective, Wolf had already dealt with a group of Sicilians who secretly made goods disappear from the wholesale market hall, but had always lost their trace. In Italy, the group offers him to bring a sealed envelope back to Germany and hand it in at the wholesale market hall. He agrees and finally delivers the mastermind of the shops, the boss of the wholesale market hall, to the police. Brigitte sees his efforts to work honestly, but accuses Wolf of only doing work that he also enjoys. In the end, he secretly works as a mechanic in his father's company and develops a new machine that makes production easier. The father is enthusiastic about it and is happy that his son has finally found serious work.

The friends around Renate and Bobby are in turn enthusiastic because an unknown patron tore down the ailing youth club and had it rebuilt in a modern way. They suspect Wolf is behind the benefactor, but it turns out that it was in reality Leo who also accepted the relationship between Bobby and Renate. And in the end, Wolf also passed his test and has finally become a man to marry.
