The protagonists of the story are burdened with monetary worries. Peter and Evelyn have taken on financial obligations beyond their means with their Restaurant "Zum Glücksklee" and are severely in the red. Willi too, the attendant at a discount gas station, is in financial peril. He fell in love with his boss Bettina and wants to divorce his wife Rita and pay her a significant settlement. And, after many years of service, detective Stanewski earns too little to pay for his granddaughter's year abroad in America. Peter and Evelyn attempt radical problem solving and rob a bank. The yield is meager and the innocent Willi becomes the prime suspect. Stanewski doesn't believe Willi did it and continues to investigate. His experience and a few favorable coincidences lead him in the right direction, to the Restaurant "Zum Glücksklee." He quickly sees through the naïve amateurs Evelyn and Peter, pulls a few strings and directs from the sidelines, with the result that the two try to rob the bank again. When the two return home with a haul of over a million, there is already someone waiting for them. |
