[3] Completely broke, the three friends Willy, Kurt and Hans are stranded on a country road when they run out of fuel and there is no filling station nearby.

Taking turns at serving as petrol attendants, the three independently of one another fall in love with the same handsome and well-off customer Lilian, anxiously hiding their feelings for her from each other.

However, the young woman only reciprocates Willy's feelings and invites him and his friends to a luxury restaurant in order to establish clarity.

To establish close ties, Lilian asks her father to found a petrol company and to employ Willy as managing-director.
