action
Daniela is the born German fräuleinwunder : blonde, tall, sexy and blessed with a perfect figure. Daniela wants to go out into the big wide world in order to get started in terms of her career: A job as a mannequin awaits in Rome (Newspeak: model). It is only with a heavy heart that Daniela's mother separates from her so far modest daughter and accompanies her to the train station. From a magazine that Daniela bought shortly before boarding the train as a travel guide, she found out the real reason for her job offer: her predecessor had been found dead and her future boss, Count Castellani, urgently needed a replacement. Daniela doesn't care about any of this, she just wants to get out of the petty-bourgeois narrowness, the background for this opportunity that awaits her in the “Eternal City” doesn't worry her. When she arrived in Rome, her mother's fears that her little daughter might get hurt there in one way or another seem unjustified at first sight. Count Castellani, in his outward appearance the perfect example of a southern cavalier, proves to be a charming and generous boss and gives Daniela a warm welcome. The German blonde quickly finds entry into the world of Roman high society. But not all that glitters is gold; behind the glittering facade, abysses of blackmail, murder and prostitution will soon open up.
Daniela's compatriot Karl Bauer, a reporter by trade, resides in the room next door to her hotel. He pounds his typewriter while listening to loud music in the middle of the night, thus making Daniela sleepless. Then he also has impertinence and one day breaks into her room to find out who his neighbor is. Getting to know each other in this way, the two compatriots get off to a very bad start. But one day Daniela will still need this guy bitterly, because Bauer makes it clear to her that behind the spick and span facade of Castellani, this slippery man of the world, a wicked criminal lurks. Daniela, who had always seen her Italian boss as a paragon of chevaleresque politeness, needs some time to understand that Bauer, who is always around Castellani, is right with his allegations.
Things get complicated when one day Castellani's jealous lover causes Esmeralda to be in trouble and is found dead a little later. Soon Daniela threatens to slide deeper and deeper into the gutter. She becomes an involuntary stripper who can be rescued by a group of sailors, and is encouraged to appear in a nightclub with a black wig. But then "Reporter" Bauer turns out to be an Interpol agent who wants to put Castellani down. He, like a certain Lanzac, who tries to blackmail Count Castellani because of his crimes, are both after a microfilm compromising Castellani. At the final showdown, Count Castellani is killed while Daniela and her German boring Karl hug each other. The “sinful” life of the German blonde in Rome and Paris comes to an end and Daniela becomes, in the spirit of her happy mother, an ordinary German housewife and wife of a police officer.

Reviews
Paimann's film lists summed up: "They did not know how to convincingly demonstrate the importance of the coveted object, nor how to diversify the hunt for it, so that despite the sympathetic contributors and interesting locations (Paris, Rome), one remains uninvolved."
“A German mannequin between Rome and Paris in a crime story of murder, extortion and prostitution. Unashamed film trash. "
