Schmidinger (Josef Moosholzer) returns to Germany after having spent
almost his entire life in the USA to claim his inheritance, a big hotel -
but even upon arrival his suitcase is stolen. Luckily for him, he meets a
sympathetic cabdriver, Karli (Franz Muxeneder), who helps him out with
some money - but ultimately, Karli just tries to get Schmidinger together
with his girlfriend Molly (Alexandra Bogojevic) to make some money off the
supposedly rich hotel owner. When Schmidinger arrives at the hotel though,
he has to realize to his horror that it's actually a brothel, and when he
tries to turn it back into a hotel, he encounters fierce opposition from
two gangsters, who eventually force him to sign over the brothel to them
before pushing him out of a helicopter ... though to his luck, they allow
him to carry a parachute. Schmidinger quickly finds employment as a
mountain guide, but sucks at that - but he has caught the eye of a female
farmowner (Elke Deuringer), and after he sells his brothel to a
supermarket chain (his signature on the gangsters' contract was a phony),
he can afford to turn her chain into a hotel and restaurant. He promises
his friend Karli a top job in the joint, but since he has long seen
through his ploy, he only makes him a waiter ... Oh boy! It's
one of these German sex comedies from the 1970's that are not even
remotely funny, that are based on one-joke plots that are as old as they
are tired, contain badly executed stock-in-trade slapstick scenes, and
boast a few too many annoying rural clichés. Plus the director shows no
cinematic verve whatsoever, and while most of the girls are at least
good-looking and naked a lot, they are way too often shown in (softcore)
sexual situations though with ugly and/or old men. You might still get a
modest kick out of this one if you're a bad movie masochist like me, but
be warned, mostly it just hurts.
