Plot summary
Two people who feel unsuccessful meet one evening in Monte Carlo. Georg Winkler even plans to commit suicide, but he is hindered by Marguerite Hoffman and they start discussing their lives over a drink. They agree to start a new life together.
Georg's talent is pistol shooting and Marguerite has been an actress, but not a successful one. They now start touring under the name "Hard & Hardy", where Georg uses his pistol in a lethally dangerous number with Marguerite as a target. They are now touring with a hit number, happy and in love. But even the best of plans can go terribly wrong...
