At an event for singles, Chief Inspector Carlo Menzinger tries his luck in vain. Because Korinna, the woman he likes, is also ensnared by the charming Peter. And Peter almost won the race at Korinna when he is apparently hit by a car on purpose and dies. The Munich chief inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr have no choice but to delve deep into the jungle of big-city singles, where money and success count more than love and security and where the desire for private happiness is fulfilled all the more quickly, almost hastily shall be. It quickly turns out that Peter was a poacher in the jungle of single people: a womanizer who was also in a steady relationship with Sofie.
And quite a few of his countless lovers - including the unfortunate Rafaela - knew how much Peter enjoyed this double game. Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr now have to deal with longings and bitter realizations that they - themselves singles - would otherwise have preferred to avoid. And they mustn't forget to take care of lovesick Carlo, who, once in search of happiness, now seems hopelessly pursued by bad luck.
