action

The manufacturer Florian Pieper, who comes from vinegar and cucumber, invented the insect powder Pieperlin. He believes that he can use it to conquer the German market and therefore goes to the metropolis of Berlin. But the naive country egg is here on a pavement that it cannot cope with: everything is bigger, everything is faster and brighter, and dangers lurk everywhere for a straw widower, a single "sinful" temptation. He encounters this mainly in the form of the pretty, perky variety dancer Margot Olschinsky, whom Pieper immediately begins to adore.

Now the good husband gets caught up in the vortex of the cosmopolitan city, and Dörfler Pieper stumbles into many an adventure in which he will have strange encounters with police officers, dancing girls, an Indian maharajah and a wrestler. The places of action are light restaurants and loud dance floors as well as dim taverns and barren police stations. This “great night” has it all, but Florian Pieper has remained loyal and good. But how is he supposed to explain all this to his lovely wife, who at home believed in vinegar on the cucumber, who has also set out for Berlin and whom he promptly runs into the next morning?
