action
The Argentines Liz and Trixi, the English woman Pat, the French woman Colette, the German woman Katrin and their friends Sonja and Merci visit the “Boarding School des jeunes Filles”, which is located in a beautiful sun spot in Mediterranean Europe. Soon they have passed the Abitur, and the girls decide, at Colette's suggestion, to go on a trip to the Mediterranean together before each of them returns to their home country. Adventure and fun should be the focus of the yacht break, but suddenly Colette of all people tells them that she cannot take part because her mother would need her at home. But this is only a pretended reason, in truth Colette cannot afford such a tour, which is supposed to take her to the coast of Africa and the Orient. Therefore, the other girls decide to take the trip on a cargo ship, because firstly this would be more adventurous and secondly you could take Colette with you.
The trip is soon to turn out to be much more adventurous than the seven young women had planned, because when they accept the invitation of a neat meteorologist named Manuel to visit him on his remote and allegedly largely deserted island, the same turns out to be a playground Criminals. Under the leadership of a certain Murdock, several villains have made their home there who are on an illegal treasure hunt. Your goal is to recover a number of gold bars from a hidden plane wreck. The crooks have absolutely no use for curious witnesses and confidants, and so the seven pretty ones are soon in great danger. Only at the last moment does a police boat rush to the shore, free the naive girls and prevent worse. In the meantime, Liz and Manuel got to know and love each other better and decide to stay together in the future.

Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: “According to a shallow script - primitive 'crime thriller' and cheap 'sexi' - superficially staged, modestly presented, music-illustrated, pictures and images, sometimes with little film skills. Tonally acceptable. "
"A poor garbage product."
