Arvid is a bank clerk whose girlfriend Henne is about to leave him because he is so boring. When Arvid accidentally foils a bank heist by hitting Franz over head, he realizes that Franz is really just a decent guy trying to raise money for he and his girlfriend Astrid to have a baby through artificial insemination. Seeing this as a chance not only to help Franz, but prove to his own girlfriend that his life is filled with danger and excitement, Arvid decides to rob a mail van, give the proceeds to Astrid, and find a way to spring Franz out of prison.
