Smuggling in the German part of the Baltic Sea? Special agent Jo suspects the new mission is an excuse to put him out of business. Yet the notorious loner accepts his mission and travels to the small island where, instead of a gang of smugglers he finds a handful of eccentric inhabitants. A dozen people live there - each with a job of some sort, but no one seems to have anything to do. Only the mayor seems to work for the economic future of her islet. With their nonsense businesses the community raises Jo's suspicion. At the same time mysterious goods seem to be produced and shipped. Jo starts his investigation and runs into the lighthouse man's dead body.
