In New York lernt der deutsche Ingenieur Bernd Geldern die Zeitungsverkäuferin Ju-Ju kennen, die gerne als Sängerin Erfolg haben möchte und in einer Bar das Lied "Träume von Liebe" singt. Als der Boxer Sicki sich an Ju-Ju heranmachen will, steht Geldern ihr bei und schlägt Sicki KO. Doch dann wird Sicki ermordet, und der Verdacht fällt auf Geldern und Ju-Ju, die beide nach Berlin reisen. Sickis Manager George Derbrock, ein alter Bekannter Gelderns, folgt ihnen. Er will Geldern erpressen, wird später aber in dessen Wohnung ermordet aufgefunden. Die Polizei verhaftet Geldern, doch Ju-Ju ahnt, wer der wahre Täter war...

The German engineer, Bernd Geldern, is visiting New York in connection with a planned, grand construction project. There, he gets to know a newspaper vendor named Ju-Ju. She wants to become a singer and she performs in a bar the song, "Dreams of Love". When the boxer, Sicki -- where DO these Germans come up with these so-called American names?!?! -- insults Ju Ju, Geldern knocks him on his ass with a KO-punch. But during the fight, the lights mysteriously go out in the bar and when they come back on again, it's determined that someone has stabbed Sicki (no doubt to put him out of his misery of having to live with such a name). Sicki's manager, George Derbrock, apparently the only American in the film to have a somewhat normal name, ensures that Geldern gets out of that bar tout suite with Ju Ju. Now on the run, Ju Ju and Geldern travel to Berlin. Derbock follows them. His intention is to blackmail Geldern, but he's found stabbed in his apartment later on (really: are you SURE Geldern doesn't have a thing for knives?! That's twice,now). The police arrest Geldern, but the head investigator is sure he's innocent. He's right: the real criminal is in the train with Ju Ju.

THERE IS A NEWSREEL PREVIEW BEFORE THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).


DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 92 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL. VERY GOOD FILM QUALITY OVERALL.
