action
Since director Dingelmeyer has to stay in bed at home because of a flu , he sends his employee Jochen Mintz to Stockholm instead to close an important deal there. His contractual partner is the Swede Claes von Born, and the deal is worth around ten million Deutschmarks. The German is facing tough competition from opponents from England (Mr. Hotchkiss), France (M. Duval) and the Soviet Union (Towaritsch Populenko). In order to beat the annoying competition, Jochen wants to get to know von Born personally as soon as possible, who, the German finds out from his secretary, went sailing. With Rosholm, the wealthy businessman has his own island in the archipelago .
In order to reassure his boss at home, Jochen sends one cable message after another to Director Dingelmeyer in Munich. Then he gets on the next ferry to get quickly from Stockholm to Rosholm. Since there is only the comfortable Born Villa and a locked fisherman's hut on Rosholm, Mintz decides to swim over to the neighboring island, where he sleeps in a tiny bathing house, freezing and clattering his teeth. Back on Rosholm, the next morning Jochen secretly follows a person who is behaving suspiciously like a burglar in von Born's lordly house. When he tries to find the “burglar” in the bathroom, he has to find out that it is a pretty, young girl. Her name is Maibritt and Germans like her exceptionally well.
Since Jochen still believes that the girl has gained unauthorized access to the house, but he does not want to harm her, he steals outside again with Maibritt and forbids her to enter the Born villa again. Together they row to a neighboring island, where Maibritt lives in a modest wooden hut. The romantic atmosphere and the bright midsummer nights soon lead both young people to fall in love. The peaceful idyll is suddenly disturbed when Maibritt's ex-fiancé Ralf shows up and causes trouble. Soon both men have each other in the wool. One morning Maibritt disappeared without a trace. Jochen is called back to Stockholm. A surprise awaits him there: he has landed the contract, and Maibritt, the girl from the islands, who is also Born's daughter, is not entirely innocent.
