action

Train driver Roland Diesler is very popular with all women on the Argenstein-Kummerstadt railway line, he has various love affairs in the individual stations. He always honks when he sees one of his lovers from his locomotive. His friend and colleague Walter plans his evening appointments for him in the calendar. One day he discovers again a young and good-looking blonde who has recently been supervising a small train station. When he asks the station master Bünau about it, it turns out that it is his daughter. After a short delay, they both become lovers, which the respective fathers do not like.

Since Roland's father also works for the railway, the two fathers find ways to separate the young couple. Roland is deployed on the afternoon express train to Berlin , where Roland has to spend the night and shifts are swapped. Nothing helped, love is bigger - Roland even forgets his other love affairs. Now the two fathers fall out : this way the other's dachshund is not covered. In addition, the women's handball team from a BSG from another district is supported to influence the table situation. As revenge for this, a subsequent company outing is sabotaged in which the bus is canceled at night and the other BSG has to cover the return journey of 20 km in pouring rain.

At the end there is a happy ending : The two get married and have twins. The two handball teams merge. And even the two dachshunds love each other.

production

The exterior shots were shot in Belzig train station and on the Brandenburg city railway . The locomotive 118 076-9 shown in the film was from the Magdeburg depot and hauled the Aschersleben – Dessau – Belzig – Berlin express train, just as it was in scheduled service in 1977. The locomotive 110 092-4 that can be seen in the film at the beginning of the film was borrowed from the Seddin depot - this label can also be seen - but the passenger trains with the Reko cars looked like they did in the film.

The Argenstein station mentioned in the film is the Wiesenburg station , the end point Kummerstadt station is the Belzig station . You can see the railway side of the station. The stops Krahne and Drewitz, Dahnsdorf in the direction of Niemegk can also be seen. Presumably, the entire film was shot on the Rosslau – Belzig – Seddin line when the line was still single-track.

The closing song is Nobody Loves You as I do from Lehár's operetta Paganini sung by Manfred Krug .
