action
Otto Wunderlich, a typical product of the fat economic boom, did good business with the manufacture of bikinis. But since he is very upset about his high tax payments, his legal advisor Droste advises him to invest a lot of money in the more or less hopeless business ideas of his four children in the hope of being able to write off the assumed losses for tax purposes. Daughter Renate opens a kindergarten with Daddy's financial support, the second daughter Grit a jazz cellar, the first son Willi a workshop while the second son François wants to try his hand at taking over a theater. Otto is pretty sure that he will never get a penny back and is therefore happy to soon have less taxes to be transferred to the tax office.
But he miscalculated thoroughly, the four offspring prove to be tireless, hardworking and extremely resourceful in their business ideas. One evening Droste suggests that he go on a pub crawl through the city. Of course, Wunderlich would also like to deduct the expenses for this stroll from tax, this time as business expenses. At one of the pubs they get to know an older gentleman their age who is in a rather bad mood, and with whom they can really get on with when the hour is late. Soon the mouth is loose, and more is said than is good, before it turns out that this Mr. Iron works in the tax investigation. When a half-naked, short-haired blonde in a dark bikini two-piece begins to charm Otto, the air soon prevails, because the siren named Beatrice is none other than the love of his son François!
The next morning Otto Wunderlich had a booming, fat head, combined with a mighty hangover, and couldn't remember anything that he said or did last night. But the calamity, which seems inexorably to approach, is miraculously averted by him, because tax investigatorügel can no longer do anything against the tax evader Otto, because he has become "self-conscious" by an unexpected event: his nephew Uli is thinking about himself To betroth Wunderlich's daughter Grit, and so both families will soon be related to each other.
