Carlos, Blacky and Jochen sign up after a violent bar fight on a decrepit ship, the ramshackle freighter 'Trinidad'. It turns out that the ship with its expensive cargo is about to be blown up. An insurance fraud is aimed at by the unscrupulous criminal Frederic and his accomplice Diana. Everything changes after it turns out that the millionaire's daughter Vera Anden is also on the ship. Frederic is the secretary of her father, a rich businessman. Frederic then wants to extort a high ransom. But on the ship off the African coast, Jochen and his friends have taken command after a wild shootout. During a scuffle to capture Diana and Frederic, the crime boss is able to detonate an explosive device attached to the ship. The freighter sinks, but the three friends and Vera Anden can save themselves on land, where the rogue couple is taken away in handcuffs by the Moroccan police.
