While Hannes prefers to spend his free time at home with his mother, Heini and Willy decide to go to a dance hall. There is also the photographer Ilse Schröder with her underage brother Fritz. He offers Willy his sister as a dance partner, which both of them find quite amusing after a short embarrassment break. Willy, on the other hand, has bad luck and bad luck not only with women because of his clumsy manner. In order to impress the ladies it is inevitable that seaman's yarn is spun every now and then .

Then it happens, however, during one of the next trips ashore, in which Willy cannot take part, that Fritz also asks Heini to dance with his sister. Both get on equally well. Since the sailor has not yet had a picture of a woman for his locker like everyone else, he asks Use to give him one, which she does. When he later shows the photo to his friend Willy, a scuffle breaks out between the two of them, which ends in a falling out, as the men now know that they have fallen in love with the same woman.

However, when Jäger is forgotten during a tour of the target ship “SMS Zähringen” and his life is in danger during practice shooting, Timm forgets his resentment when he discovers his friend while looking through binoculars on board the “Zähringen” and reports this to his immediately Supervisor.

criticism

The criticism of the film when it was released was not exactly friendly, as Karlheinz Wendtland wrote at the time: “One was appalled by the clowning and the rough humor of the German sailors.” […] It went on: “Even if this film was the first attempted advances should be seen in the new direction, since he plays among sailors on ships of the Reichsmarine, it remains to be stated that only the frame has changed, but not the people acting in it. In other words: everything stays the same, you just pretend. "

For kino.de , the film presented itself as a "harmless German comedy by Carl Boese, which Heinz Rühmann and Enrico Benfer vainly lets vie for the favor of Charlotte Ander".
