Flashback: During the Korean War , the two flight officers Tom Ferris and Tank Martin had become friends even though they had tried to get the same girl. One day, however, things got serious for Tom: he fell so deeply in love with Julie, a nurse of Italian descent that he did not shy away from unfair means, to beat Tank, who also liked the distinctive young lady, from the field and to win her afterwards To marry victory.
14 years have now passed. The couple now live in London. Suddenly, however, Tom is no longer feeling well when the rival of yore, believed to be dead, appears, but he himself is ordered by his employer to take a rescue course in Labrador. In addition, Tank has developed into a lady hunter of not inconsiderable proportions, while Tom has become an avid career hunter and neglects his wife. Although the rival that went all out now uses similar means as his intimate partner from back then, the distance from Labrador to Rome, where the unsatisfied wife and the lover who willingly promises satisfaction have landed, cannot prevent him from being back in time and restore order after the fight. Tank - unmoved - pulls off again, and Tom has changed for the better.
Awards

Reviews
The Protestant film observer has little to complain about: “Turbulent triangular comedy in the style of the tabloid theater - in parts stunningly funny, but also very insecure about style.” The lexicon of international film comes to a similar assessment : “Triangle story in lively production, somewhat long , but entertaining.
