action
As a prospective student, Christof Müller takes the train from Augsburg to Munich. As soon as he is enrolled, he is intercepted by the bon vivant “sports friend”, who introduces him to some university internals. Together with “Justus von Liebig” he runs an agency for student hardship cases, but most of the time people just drink and poke around.
Christof lives with his cousin Brigitte, who is after him and becomes intimate with him. In between he is supposed to take the little fairy out and take her to the zoo. Because the girl does not want to go to the ladies' room alone, he has to go with them and gets bad suspicions from passers-by.
Actually, Christof is targeting the student Nicci. He manages to manipulate his documents for the university and to move into Nicci's house next door. After all, he has the desired success with Nicci.

Reviews
"Light comedy with satirical swipes at conditions at German universities in the 1960s."
“The work was advertised as“ fresh and cheeky ”at the time. And indeed: director Michael Verhoeven ("Mutters Courage") shot an anarchist Schwabing fun with his second film, which makes fun of sex movies, trendy slogans and the ages of yesterday. "
“Comedy from a mixture of styles, sometimes skilful self-irony, currently serious references and banal prejudices. Moderately entertaining. "
