Synopsis

Evelyne, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, is in love with the car mechanic Wolfgang who runs a garage with his friends Inge and Rudi. He seemingly shows no interest but Evelyne persists to win over his affections. During a trip to the River Rhine with other friends, Evelyne follows and keeps committing minor acts of sabotage in order to bring Wolfgang and herself closer. Eventually he falls for her, while Inge finds love with Rudi.
