action

Three gallows eke their lives trapping wealthy wealthy citizens on their way to a mountain sanatorium . Cars zoom into the abyss with beautiful regularity, and the occupants no longer give any sign of life. But one day this calculation no longer works out: a young girl survives the crash of the luxury limousine, and the perky little girl seems to be a shrewd society slut . The three gangsters are a little puzzled by this unexpected booty, and in the castle walls of their residence they decide on an honest division: fifty percent of the lady for the boss Lord Kaputt, twenty-five percent each for killer Fritz and gangster Frankie.

Life for four begins, and each of the three crooks tries to win over the floozy Maria. Lord Kaputt has to put up with the biggest slippers. Fritz and Frankie sense an opportunity as a result - but in the end everything turns out very differently than they would have expected. The smart Maria quickly saw through the weaknesses of the gallows birds and knows how to use them in their favor. Lord Kaputt's penchant for mystification gives her an idea. The mysterious mountain monk who keeps appearing and who, at the boss's command, has to trust the three crooks with Maria, hands her an " oracle ". Thereupon she incites the three to a fatal competition and in the end sees herself with enough money in front of a happy life without male terror.

Reviews

"Unsuccessful attempt at a satire on social conditions of the time, with pop elements and a lot of gossip."

“A pop fairy tale with exciting action scenes, fantastic adventures and black humor and at the same time a parable of certain human behavior in our society today. Recommended from 18. "
