As a photo reporter for the local newspaper, the woman, who is as attractive as she is self-confident, keeps her head above water. However, the big news in the sleepy town is limited to rabbit breeding competitions and accidents at the local driving school, which is owned by Moni's ex-husband Rudiger.

In fact, old Pløtz is forced to sell his company to a foreign investor. There is a lot of excitement among the workforce, as the men rightly fear for their jobs. Finally, in a spectacular action led by the works council Manfred, the workers occupied the factory to protest against the planned sale. Meanwhile, the Lusgraf women are approaching the problem in a more constructive way. Under Moni's leadership, they are looking for solid ways to make Pløtzwerke competitive again. Inspired by the thriving trade in erotic articles that her friend Ilona runs under the counter of her dry cleaner, Moni finally comes up with the brilliant idea: Instead of old-fashioned razors, Pltøzwerke should rather produce modern massage sticks - developed by women for women. With the support of a smart senior trio, including Moni's mother Ilse, development work begins on the "massage stick of the future".

But a woman like Moni doesn't give up that easily.
