action

The still young and quite inexperienced Susanne Petersen wants to prove to her mother, who works for the customs police and is therefore also responsible for the Reeperbahn , that detective inspector Renate Petersen is no longer a small child. With her friend Gerti, who knows her way around Hamburg's nightlife, she's all out for adventure. Now they want to make a train through the bars (and with it Susanne's mother's territory). In one of these dodgy pubs, Susanne is made drunk and, in an obscure beauty choice, is named "Miss Night". Nightclub owner Radebach, who regularly clashes with the detective inspector, finally sees an opportunity to really get back on Renate Petersen through these fortunate circumstances. Because the inspector has tried many times to blow up his shop because Radebach illegally allows underage girls to appear in his establishment and shows legally borderline films for the lascivious male audience.

So time to get back at the pesky police lady. So far, Radebach has been able to call off its semi-legal events at the last moment during upcoming raids and hide the underage girls in the basement. But now there is an opportunity to get hold of the Commissioner. Susanne is supposed to be lured into a trap by Susanne's school friend Gerti, the current lover of the sleazy photographer Ingo. The aim is to shoot compromising photos of the pretty, short-haired blonde that could be used to exert pressure on her mother. No sooner said than done, and precisely at that ominous election for "Miss Night" in Radebach's establishment.

That night, Renate Petersen went on a private stroll on the Reeperbahn with her colleague from the homicide squad, Inspector Torberg. She does not know that her so far innocent daughter is in dire straits. Meanwhile, Susanne knocks down the greasy Radebach and flees into the darkness of St. Pauli night. Photographer Ingo sees the opportunity given to finish off the beefy bar owner who has become uncomfortable and kills Radebach in a duel. All traces of the murder point to Susanne, whereupon Commissioner Petersen tries to cover up those traces. Gerti is also said to be angry as an unpleasant witness; however, she narrowly escapes Ingo's attempted murder and survives. Ingo meanwhile tracks down Susanne on the Reeperbahn and persuades her that she is to blame for Radebach's death. The pretty girl becomes his hostage. With her, the villain flees all over Hamburg, always with the police and Radebach's managing director Jensen on his neck.

Reviews

"Dime story with a pseudomoral touch."

- Lexicon of international film

"Filthy story from the Hamburg Reeperbahn milieu."

- Kay Less : The film's great personal dictionary

“Dozen films in the St. Pauli milieu. A pieced-together story of blackmail, murder, escape and the end in the gravel pit, painstakingly stretched to the length of a feature film. The cloak of the milieu hardly covers the nakedness of the simple-minded dramaturgy. Boring for all ages. "
