action
Hamburg, late 1940s. The fashion designer Gorla enjoys a good reputation among his wealthy, fine clientele. Hardly anyone knows that he does his best business with the girl trade and that his best seller is the “export in blonde” overseas. His pretty daughter Iris is also blond, and one day she is kidnapped by Frank Olman, a former accomplice of the girl trafficking boss, in order to also ship her to South America. Olman still has an account with Gorla and initially abducts Iris to her father's Villa Rosita in Rio de Janeiro.
The young artist Rolf Carste succeeds in joining the entourage of dealers and protects Iris from any intrusiveness on the journey. Soon Carste has managed that the crooks see him as one of their own and that he can plan the liberation of Iris. When Gorla learns of the kidnapping of his daughter, he becomes almost insane with worry and carelessness. A fire breaks out in his fashion studio through his own fault, in which the girl dealer and couturier Gorla loses his life. Meanwhile, Carste manages to free Iris, with the help of the Brazilian police, to blow up the girl trafficking ring and to have Olman arrested. Iris and Rolf return to Europe as a couple.
