action

In the African jungle, adventurer elephant Joe Thalberg learns that he has a grown son. He goes to San Sebastian with his lovers Gilda and Ida to find his son Tony, who has sent him a letter in the jungle. Tony, in turn, inherited a trailer from his aunt, which he and his friend Peter are getting back on the road. He shows Peter a picture of his father and he is sure that the man is his former religion teacher Johannes. They learn that Father Johannes is working in a mission in San Sebastian and go there. On the way they take the beautiful Angela with them in their trailer and soon a fight for Angela breaks out between the two young men.

The American secret service, in turn, learns that confidential NATO documents have been stolen and want to find the leak. To do this, they will inevitably have to resort to the favorite nephew of the NATO Commander-in-Chief, who has already proven himself extremely inept in the past. The man is dispatched as Agent 712 to find the briefcase with the secret papers. For security, the secret service uses agent KX 3 on 712, who is supposed to prevent major damage.

712 believes to have found the leak in the alleged real estate agent Geyer. Joe Thalberg and his playmates are renting out a magnificent villa in San Sebastian. Nobody knows that Joe and Johannes Thalberg are actually twins. Because 712's path also crosses Father Johannes, 712 soon believes that both persons are one and that Father leads a dissolute life. In turn, Father Johannes is greeted by Tony as a father, but he has always lived strictly according to celibacy . More and more often, Johannes gets into situations that are inexplicable for him, which are usually based on an action by his twin brother. In the meantime, Geyer has lost the folder with the stolen papers in the swimming pool in his rented villa.

Since Joe is looking for his son, but has never seen him, the debilitating Leo-Heinz is introduced to him as Tony and Joe is disappointed. At the same time, the real Tony tries to finally get in touch with his father, since he has realized that both of them must be twins. Joe believes his twin brother died a long time ago. Joe is all the more pleased when he learns that Johannes is alive and that the real Tony is his son. Leo-Heinz is caught by Tony and exposed as a fraud. Nevertheless, Leo-Heinz manages to take the bag with the stolen NATO documents and to flee. While the papers were drying on Geyer's property, the police stormed the building and arrested everyone except Geyer.

The news that Father John may have a son has reached the bishop who is coming to San Sebastian. Only after a few mix-ups does the chaos clear and both twins meet. Joe will travel back to Africa with Ida, Gilda and Tony, Peter and Angela will become a couple, and 712 and KX 3 will work together as agents in the future.
