Englishman Shaun Wilkes falls in love with a beautiful German girl and, after finishing his studies, follows her to Munich. He finds himself entwined in a comedy of errors, confronted with one culture shock after another and experiences real love for the first time. From a sweet old grannie who turns the air blue, strange people speaking Transylvanian, a barroom brawl, Hobbit's feet, an ominous trip to the mountains to a very confusing English lesson.
