When a prostitute is murdered in a cheap Berlin boarding house, an investigating judge suspects that the killer is her boyfriend, unaware that his own son and daughter are also mixed up in the case.
Hella lives in a boarding house and has various romantic adventures before settling down with vacuum cleaner salesman Winkler.
