Set in Hamburg's “Hell's Kitchen,” a waterfront milieu of gangsters, pimps, dealers and prostitutes, the story follows the attempts of an ex-seaman first to insinuate himself into the scene, and then to extricate himself from it. He becomes a small-time pimp, sending his naive girlfriend out onto the streets thinking she is financing their middle-class future. When he becomes involved with an old pal, Nil, he increases his criminal portfolio. But when he steals Nil's girlfriend and things heat up, he leaves for his sister's middle-class home in Berlin, where his attempts to fit in are doomed from the start. Returning to Hamburg, he starts a rapid decline that delivers him into the waiting arms of Nil, whose revenge is merciless.

A small carnival is in dire financial straits. Their show is attracting fewer and fewer paying customers, as their "attractions" are ageing, out of shape and beset by internal feuds and bickering. One day a beautiful young woman shows up and suggests a way of attracting customers: put on a strip show, with her as the main attraction. Her act attracts customers in droves, but it turns out that the girl has her own agenda, and it isn't to help out the carnival.

The hero of this play, Liane Jokkemöller, runs a Cologne travel agency that specialises in adventure travels: her desk is sitting on elephant legs, the walls are papered with zebra stripes. The dernier cri are weekend safaris to Africa, including a photo-op with Tarzan and Jane. Gerhard and Christel Pfuscher, sexshop-owners from Bergheim, splash out and spend a small fortune on it. But then there is word of the jungle heroes getting run over by a herd of elephants, and the travel agency owner is in a fix. With her husband Harald, zookeeper in the monkey house, she travels to Africa to don the leopard fur herself for once. But at first, Liane must help Harald in return by riding the killer whale in the zoo’s aquarium. Finally, in the jungle, things are going crazy. Starzahn has to decide between two women, for cleaning lady Eloise Pütz is also in on it. A haunting of the jungle ghost, a frenzy of the instincts.
