Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Set in the German underworld, this romantic drama has a satirical edge. Siggi is a young mother with a mobster husband, Fred, who has grown tired of her. Abandoned, and sick of men, she takes up with her friend Elke. Together, they hit on a way of swindling men out of money on the pretense of offering sex. This works for a while, until Siggy actually goes to bed with Joky, a jukebox record distributor. Soon, she sets up housekeeping with him and goes around on distribution calls for him. This calls her to Fred's attention, and, as a form of jealous revenge, he arranges for Elke to be caught sleeping with Joky. Things look bad for Siggy's relationship for a little while, until Joky wises up.
