A writer who is an amateur detective recovers a painting stolen from an Amsterdam patron by three bumbling foreign crooks.

Champagne for the eyes, poison for the rest. A deadly blonde in a white vintage car dumps her victims in love in the Venice Canal. First a writer, then a handsome guy. And even an Italian commissioner. At least that is the basic plot of the film by filmmaker Klaus Lemke, who meanders through Munich's Maxvorstadt and Schwabing, just as his young female main protagonists roam the neighborhood. Because it could well be that we humans are all just complicated fakes who have once started their own business. As it is with film titles that have been given to you by someone.

Rudy wants to become one of the greats as a boxer - but when he was knocked out again and money is so scarce that he has to deliver eggs, he listens to his friend Ebbie and tries his hand at being a musician. When Ebbie still finds the perfect connection to his record company, success seems inevitable. The first open air concert takes place, and after this performance all problems are solved - only differently than you think.

Retired security consultant Robert Frank accompanies his reporter daughter Claudia to a prestigious exposition of Venetian glass organized by her mother, his ex-wife Louise Berengo, and her second husband Antonio. At the grand opening, thieves sabotage the alarm and stage a blackout to switch a paste copy with the signature medieval masterpiece beaker. Claudia gets Robert to put his expertise to use and attempt retrieving it before a scandal ruins Louise's reputation, putting off informing insurance and authorities. Present was the prime suspect: Louise's arch-rival, antiques and art merchant Boris Jetrowitsch, whom he overhears offering a rare piece to leading Venetian collector Anna Cantonelli. Robert has a crush on local restaurant owner Mia and Claudia has one on Mia's son Marco, who catered the opening and is devoted to his angelic but seriously-ill son Luca. Robert fails to deliver an anonymously demanded 100.000-Euro ransom, but finds out the annoying truth.
