Two married men, Toni and his father-in-law Fritz, meet unexpectedly at a party given by their lovers Lea and Lizette. They want to hide their infidelities and agree to keep their secret. But the showdown sees everyone piling in: lovers, husbands and wives who know how to defend themselves against such insults and first scare away the rivals before venting their fury on the men who sneak out of the picture.
