Gossip reporter Baby Schimmerlos writes a series on the Munich restaurants where the wrong crowd.

His girlfriend Mona forces him to finally submit the expense report in the newspaper for which he writes. The many visits to expensive restaurants beat the money. The two have to renew the floor of your own home. The master craftsman would make a good price if Schimmerlos would write about him in his column, says Mona. Baby rejects the outraged.

During the evening of retribution-seeking industrialist Henry Haffenloher (Mario Adorf) tried in vain to find Baby Schimmerlos to appear in his column, visited this restaurant Champs Elysees. Whose operator is concerned, ill get away, because nothing is going on in the restaurant. He can call together "the usual freeloaders" to get some humor into the store. The plan succeeds, but Mona is annoyed by the lack of ideas and culinary staged happiness - had the same food they have been to the restaurant the day before serving. Haffenloher finds the Champs Elysées by accident but still get by, as there will be dancing on the tables, you can take it not.

The frustrated Haffenloher phoned Schimmerlos' publisher of balance and offers to turn to expensive ads on it, if it occurs in the gossip column. This then blackmailed Schimmerlos, he would get his expenses reimbursed only if Haffenloher appears in the column.

Schimmerlos visited Haffenloher in his hotel. After flattery, threats and bribes directs Schimmerlos asleep. The Champs Elysées is the last night staged again from scratch, and this time, in addition to those already present yesterday, and the master craftsmen and Haffenloher to ask.
