action

Yvonne and Evchen, work colleagues in a factory, have had enough of the men. In bars they constantly come across people who only want them for one night, straw widowers who are looking for a short distraction from the everyday life of the marriage, or tearful spouses who have just had an argument with their wives and want to cry at someone's house. They plan to take revenge on the men. They inaugurated the head waiter of their regular bar, Freddy, who is supposed to assign them worthwhile sacrifices. Both women appear dressed up in the bar and the blonde Evchen flirts with the unsuspecting Hans-Dieter Bullrich, who finally brings the woman who is pretending to be migraine home. Evchen makes him clear advances, undresses and finally brings him to open her bra. Now Yvonne appears and photographs Bullrich in a clear situation. Both women break off their action and demand 5,000 marks from Bullrich. Otherwise, Bullrich's wife will receive the photos. Bullrich is desperate, as he has nothing to report in his marriage.

Meanwhile, bookseller Domski meets with the restorer of the Ducal Museum Altenau, Mr. Mertens, in a floodplain near Altenau. Mertens stole several small sculptures during the last inventory and now wants to sell them to Domski. Domski takes the figures in a suitcase, but does not want to pay. A scuffle breaks out and Domski knocks Mertens down. He leaves the motionless and bleeding man lying there and flees to Berlin in his car. In the evening he goes to the bar, where Yvonne and Evchen choose him as their new victim. Domski thinks they are prostitutes and willingly goes into the apartment with them. Things are not going fast enough there, as Evchen is shy about her role. When Yvonne appears with the camera, Domski thinks she wants to take erotic photos and is enthusiastic. He pursues Yvonne and Evchen, tears Yvonne's dress and is finally knocked out by both women. They tie up the man and lock him in their closet, but shortly afterwards discover the art objects. Yvonne immediately recognizes that the works of art must have been stolen because they have the inventory number of the museum in Altenau. Both women go to the police, but insist on Captain Peter Fuchs as their contact person. At first he reacts skeptically to the story of the women, but goes into her apartment anyway. Domski is arrested and the stolen goods are seized.

Since both women fear that they will be followed by the group of perpetrators, Peter Fuchs has them guarded. However, there are only minor incidents, such as the unexpected nightly visit from Bullrich, who wants to negotiate an installment payment of the extortion money with the women. Domski, meanwhile, cannot be persuaded to confess. He found a ticket from Altenau to Berlin. Mertens' nephew identifies his uncle's car with Peter Fuchs, which is parked at the train station in Berlin. A little later in Altenau, the seriously injured Mertens is found, who would have died without medical help. Domski, however, does not want to reveal who commissioned the theft. When Peter Fuchs lures the two young women away from their apartment under a pretext, the investigators are able to provide the eternally drunk set designer "Knacki", who in turn lets Evchen understand that head waiter Freddy must be the one who knows. In fact, there are numerous stolen art objects from Freddy. He is supposed to temporarily store them for a Dutchman who wants to travel to the GDR in two days and purchase the works of art.

For their commitment, which made it possible to arrest Domski and solve a crime, Yvonne and Evchen are awarded a prize. Peter Fuchs hopes not to encounter both women as perpetrators at some point - despite their merits, he will record a protocol about Bullrich's blackmail.
