Hamburg, shortly after the Second World War. On the Reeperbahn, a former overseas captain, who keeps his head above water as a stoker, meets a desperate and lonely woman whose marriage has been destroyed by the war. Without knowing much about each other, the two seek brief happiness and oblivion in a night of love, are separated by a raid and find each other again - this time for good.
