Summary The Hamburg shipowner Jan Hansen proudly transfers a magnificent, brand new sailing yacht to Uruguay, which he lovingly designed in accordance with the wishes of the rich wood manufacturer Don Esteban Gonzales. But no sooner has the "Rheingold" docked in the port of Montevideo than things start to happen. To Jan's great surprise, his girlfriend and travel companion, the marine biologist Anne, rejects his marriage proposal. After the strenuous sailing trip lasting several weeks, she first needs some distance. While Anne is meeting up with her ex-colleague Tobias, who runs a marine biology institute in Montevideo, Don Esteban's seductively beautiful daughter Isabella casts her eye on Jan.

Does Miguel want to save his endangered existence by selling the stolen yacht?
