action
The Petermann family is six people traveling to Italy on vacation . They do not know that secret papers were hidden in their rental car due to a mistake. The gangsters - the baroness, director Antonowitsch, the stupid Otto Muffler and the young Willi Boltz, who has just been hired by the gangsters - are following the Petermanns. Willi gets into a traffic accident with Petermann's car, in which his motorcycle is destroyed. Max Petermann, who has just passed his driving test, had once again driven backwards instead of forwards. The Petermanns take Willi, whom the daughter of the Monika family distrusts, into their midst and travel with him to Italy. The other gangsters follow unobtrusively.
In Genoa , the gangster's contact was betrayed and so the gangsters were directed to Barcelona as the new place to hand over the papers . Despite various attempts, Muffler, the Baroness and Antonowitsch fail to get the papers out of the Petermanns' car. Coincidentally, during another attempt, Muffler surprises two thieves who want to steal Petermann's car and knocks them down. The hurried Max is celebrated because he defeated the two criminals wanted by the police - the baroness, in turn, knows how to portray the scene as if Max had saved her from the two men. At the subsequent banquet in honor of Max, the Petermanns and the baroness get to know each other better, whom Antonowitsch pretends to be her brother and Muffler as the chauffeur. She invites the family to take them to Barcelona, where the criminals have already rented a villa. The family innocently agrees. Since Grandfather Seidelbast, Max's father-in-law and Biggi's father, used to be a police officer himself, they get around a control at the Spanish border.
In Barcelona, however, the baroness decides not to play any longer, as the cost of organizing the papers is now significantly higher than the value of the papers themselves. Antonowitsch, in turn, believes that the Petermanns now know their identity and plans to murder the entire family the next morning. Biggi believes that Max is having an affair with the baroness and wants to leave that night. Willi, who has meanwhile sided with the family and knows about Antonowitsch's murder plot, is also leaving with the Petermanns. There is a chase with the gangsters that ends at the Spanish border: The papers are not found in the Petermanns 'car, but in the gangsters' car, since Grandfather Seidelbast, a former police officer, has long since seen through the situation and put the papers in the strange car would have. The gangsters are arrested and the Petermanns are finally starting their real vacation. And Willi and Monika Petermann become a couple after their initial distrust.
