action

Seaman Harry Rohwedder goes ashore in Hamburg and has the equivalent of one and a half million Deutsche Mark counterfeit money in his duffel bag . He cleverly bypasses customs control and now tries to turn the 50-dollar flowers into real bills. To do this, he meets with the fence Neumeier, who initially consoles him and secretly sends his henchman Golz after him. This knocks down Rohwedder and robs him. However, the locker key found only leads him to an empty overhead locker.

Rohwedder goes to Frankfurt , where his ex-girlfriend Jutta works as a waitress. She was amazed when she suddenly saw her daughter's father again after five years. Since he knew nothing about her pregnancy, he is now proud of his little daughter. He immediately makes plans for the future of his family and shows Jutta the money that he allegedly won in Las Vegas in the casino . Rohwedder even has photos showing him as a beaming winner.

He is now trying, a little more skillfully than in Hamburg, to exchange the flowers for real DM notes. In the uniform of a Master Sergeant in the US Air Force , he can easily shop in any store with dollar bills without anyone suspecting. When taking a taxi, however, he gets into an argument with the driver because he doesn't want dollars but D-Marks. In the tussle, Rohwedder knocks the taxi driver down and flees. When he fell on the pavement, the taxi driver was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital unconscious. Witnesses see this as an attack on the driver and call the police. One of the witnesses saw an air force officer, so the investigating commissioner Bergmann is looking for him. Since the perpetrator left his suitcase in the car, the police can secure sufficient fingerprints. A fifty dollar bill is also found and it is quickly established that it is counterfeit money, because in the meantime some of the false dollar bills have appeared in Frankfurt. Assistant Wegener has already researched and reports to Bergmann that a forger workshop was dug up in Brooklyn three months ago and the flowers very likely came from there. However, Bergmann is clear that the person who distributes the counterfeit money in Frankfurt cannot be a professional if he spends it individually in shops.

Since the newspapers are already reporting the wrong dollar bills, Jutta realizes that this can only be Harry's money. She is mad that he lied to her and that he is really a gangster. He reassures her that he literally found the money on the street, because the police discovered a forger's workshop and one of the forgers had hidden the money, which he then took from him.

After the press, Rohwedder can no longer put the banknotes into circulation individually and tries to call in an intermediary. However, he does not know that Golz has been after him and the money since he tried to sell the dollar bills in Hamburg. He finds him and instead of leading Golz to the hiding place for the money, Rohwedder tricks him again, but is shot in the process and Golz escapes. Rohwedder is taken to the hospital, where Inspector Bergmann visits him. He explains to him that he knows that he distributed the counterfeit money in Frankfurt and that he is obviously in great danger.

Golz is now meeting with his client Neumeier, to whom he has to report another failure. To iron it out again, he wants to stick to Rohwedder's girlfriend. He finds out her address and rummages through the whole apartment. Shocked about being in the focus of crooks, she wants to end the relationship with Rohwedder. He secretly leaves the hospital because he wants to meet a middleman. He notices that he is being watched by the police and cleverly shakes off his pursuers. He meets with Manfred Starek, a Frankfurt fence who wants to give him 250,000  DM for the false dollar bills. In order to be able to hand over the goods, he has to get them out of their hiding place, while he is monitored by Golz, whom he once again tricked. He meets with Olschesky at the main train station, to whom he is supposed to hand over the money for Starek and in return receives the sum negotiated.

When Olschesky and Starek go to their car in the underground car park with the duffel bag full of counterfeit money, they are waiting for Bergmann and Wegener, who arrest both of them. Rohwedder is already on the train to Munich and has to be asked to leave the train by the railway police shortly before departure. He apparently paid for his redeemed ticket with counterfeit money. He then opens his wallet and leafed through the bills he had just exchanged in disbelief.
