action
The two friends Jojo and Tom are notorious gamblers. When Jojo meets his cousin Kathrin again, he falls in love with her. After the death of her aunt, Jojo inherits a dog and Kathrin 20,000 marks. Jojo gambled away the money, but with the help of Kathrin was able to win it back until the policeman Strobeck got in their way and took the money from them. On the flight to the south of France, Kathrin becomes pregnant by Jojo. You can win a lot of money in the casino there, but the French police will track you down. Eventually Tom is killed in a shootout and Jojo blows himself up with his car. At the end, Kathrin can be seen pushing a stroller through the park.

criticism
The lexicon of international films judged the film to be a "lovingly and humorously told cinema story between comedy and tragedy, which condenses a thin script into an artificial game with the narrative principles and 'laws' of cinema". Occasionally the film is "too trying, but for those who recognize the references and role models, it is as amusing as it is stimulating".
