After the death of his mother, shy Werner Schmidt finally starts looking for a partner. But on his dates, the electronics-enthusiastic, organized single man unfortunately only comes across as a bore - and consequently has no luck when it comes to love. The quiet man therefore relieves his stress at night by setting things on fire. He prefers to blow up luxury cars using his bomb-making skills and a remote-controlled car.
