Although by nature a congenial fellow, he decides to adopt an authoritarian manner when learning of his pupils' unruly womanising.
However his stern lectures that women have no place on an aerodrome are undermined when his friend Marianne unexpectedly visits him, and even more so when two female trainee pilots are assigned to him.
Soon, the flying school's chief instructor announces that the Europaflug contest (an air rallye from Germany via Spain to Africa and back) is scheduled to start from Bergried, and Quax together with one male and the two female trainee pilots take part, by which time Quax is finally persuaded of the women's flying abilities.
Quax is obliged to marry the tribal chief's daughter Banani, and they take part in an African ritual dance.
Although the female lead from the previous film, Karin Himboldt, appears again, the principal romantic interest is now played by Rühmann's real-life wife Hertha Feiler.
