action
The 14-year-old Uli has only recently lived in Hamburg with his mother. His favorite place is the harbor. One day he met the fisherman Jens there. This is avoided by many because he killed his best friend several years ago after he caught him making love with his unfaithful girlfriend. Uli's acquaintance with the "blackjack" came when the boy was lured into a trap by a couple of his peers and fell into the water, although he could not swim. Jens had observed the process from his cutter, saved the boy and given him dry clothes.
When Uli wants to bring the borrowed clothes back the next day, he meets Tessy on the way, who works as a waitress in the fishing bar “Austernbank”. He tells her about the strong fisherman Jens and arouses Tessy's interest in the man. The two soon meet in the pub and enjoy each other. But there is also Kalli, Jens' passenger, who also had an eye on the barmaid. He gets the landlord to send Tessy home. Jens is lied to by the landlord that the girl ran away from him out of fear after learning the truth about his past life. Uli noticed everything. When Jens approaches the landlord in anger, the boy throws himself in to protect his new great friend from something stupid that would have resulted in his re-imprisonment. In a confidential conversation, Uli assures the fisherman that he admires him. Afterwards he is so touched that he resolves not to disappoint the boy anymore.
In the meantime, Tessy has got involved with Kalli. The girl secretly sneaks aboard and exchanges tenderness with Kalli in his cabin. When Uli wants to visit his friend on the cutter, he immediately notices what is going on there. Now he wants by all means to prevent Jens from hearing about Tessy's presence on the ship so as not to irritate him again. On the high seas, Kalli comes up with the plan to eliminate his rival Jens. He almost succeeded in throwing the unsuspecting person overboard. However, when Jens Kallis sees through his intention, a wild fight ensues. Suddenly Jens grabs a knife, but Uli's outcry causes him to drop it. Jens Kalli hits the ground with well-aimed punching strokes.
Uli's mother has since found out that her son is on the cutter with Jens and that Tessy and Kalli are also on board. The fishermen in the harbor do not think good. When the cutter came in, Jens asked his colleagues to enter the ship. There they immediately become aware of what has happened. The fishermen Kalli and Tessy lead ashore full of contempt. Uli's mother allows her son to continue fishing with Jens.
