Hella is a 30-year-old pharmacist, too tightly wound, who has had very little luck with men. She meets Levin who shares her taste for cars and they are soon in sack and having a great time with the help of Hella's medicine stash. Levin's grandfather takes a liking to Hella and encourages Levin to marry her. However, Levin owes a lot of money to a drug-dealing friend, Dieter, who is due to be released from jail very soon. Levin proposes to Hella that they poison the old guy, get his inheritence, and pay off Dieter that way.
