Hochkonjunktur, Wirtschaftswunder, Optimismus. In dem Etablissement "Villa Fink" begeistert Lola, die Königin der Nacht, die Männer. Ihr Favorit ist der einflussreiche Baulöwe Schuckert, der sich hier mit den für ihn wichtigen Persönlichkeiten des Stadtrats angenehme Kurzweil verschafft. Schuckert hat die Bautätigkeit völlig in der Hand. Doch dann kommt eines Tages der neue Baudezernent von Bohm, ein unbestechlicher, energischer Mann. Er verliebt sich in Lola, ohne von ihrer nächtlichen Tätigkeit etwas zu wissen. Schuckert erkennt sofort, dass er mit Lolas Hilfe dem drohenden Konflikt mit seinem Gegenspieler ausweichen kann.Summary: Part of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Entire History of the German Federal Republic trilogy. Lola, a seductive cabaret singer and dancer in the 1950s, is romantically involved with Von Bohm, a morally upright building inspector. Recently appointed Building Commissioner, Von Bohm is committed to eradicating corruption. Consequently, he's given quite a shock when he is called into inspect the brothel where Lola works and discovers her there. With that, Von Bohm is left to question whether he is more loyal to the woman he loves so passionately or the career he believes in so strongly. The other entries in the trilogy are Veronika Voss and The Marriage of Maria Braun.
