action
The two sailors Erik Petersen and Kai Brinkmann are involved in a fight in the “Zum Gelben Drachen” bar. In doing so, they succeed in protecting Barbara Riccardi, a daughter from a wealthy family, her fiancé Henry Jones and his friend Robby Hansen from major harm. As a thank you, Barbara invites her rescuers to accompany her on her luxury yacht. Her fiancé's purpose is to go to a remote island and find treasure there in a stranded ship.
Barbara's maid Jenny and her friends Ruth and Doris are also on board the yacht. The passengers pass the time mainly with lounging and partying. The biggest party, however, is to take place as soon as the shipowner has been married to Henry Jones on the high seas. But this is exactly what Robby wants to prevent, because he has his eyes on the pretty girl himself. He manages to give his rival a sleeping potion, which promptly sinks into Morpheus ' arms during the wedding ceremony . Barbara thinks Erik is the culprit and soon gains the insight that he suits her much better than her fiancé.
The group goes on a treasure hunt on the mysterious island and finally finds it. However, a storm prevents them from returning to the yacht immediately. When the clouds cleared, the ship disappeared. Part of the crew mutinied and locked both the captain and his loyal sailors in the hold.
Most of the stranded experience a few carefree days on the island. To everyone's surprise, they will soon see the ship return. The prisoners were able to free themselves and overpower the mutineers. On the way back, Henry insists that the marriage ceremony be renewed; but Barbara behaves negatively. When Henry is abusive, Robby silences him a little rudely.
