Synopsis
Wolfgang Schmidt travaille comme graphiste publicitaire à La Maison de la publicité. Il est mauvais, mais il sait parler et a ainsi beaucoup de relations. Il passe son temps libre à commenter des matchs de football et voudrait en faire son métier. Siegfried Huster, de la grande entreprise Bureau Central des Petits Imprimés, cherche un nouvel employé pour le siège. Le dossier de Schmidt lui fait bonne impression et, bien que Kühn, la directrice de La Maison de la publicité, essaie de le convaindre de l'incapacité de Schmidt, il ne la croit pas et décide de le convoquer. Lors de sa poignée de main avec Huster, Schmidt la trouve si forte qu'il serre les dents et perd une incisive. Comme il a tendance à bégayer, il ne dit rien aux questions de Huster puis parle rapidement.

Veteran communist and factory director Walter Lörke is told by his daughter Anne that she became pregnant by a young man named Thomas Ostermann, whom she intends to marry. Thomas is revealed to be a sharp critic of the government. Enraged, Walter leaves the house. Outside, he begins to inquire about his would-be son-in-law. After a clumsy voyage in the streets of the city, during which he encounters many absurd phenomena, he discovers that Thomas had a friend whose parents escaped to West Germany. The friend was ostracized by society, but Thomas did not shun him, and was therefore barred from entering university. Walter returns home and talks to Thomas, who realizes that although he suffered injustices, he remains true to the ideals of the party. The two reconcile.

But, after a series of comical mistakes that lead to utter pandemonium, all the sons and daughters eventually appear to greet Wilhelm as he is awarded the Order. The whole family drinks the traditional May wine, as they have done in every year.
