Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Nicki Montag is considered a true Casanova in the Munich suburbs. However, this is obviously not only down to him, but also to the numerous women who are only too happy to fall for his advances. With the help of his work-shy friend Jonny, Nicki beguiles one woman after another in a variety of ways. It doesn't matter whether it's the daughter of a greengrocer, a real lady or a proper artist's girl. In the case of the demanding Mrs. Consul Hale, it is even Nicki who is conquered.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
