Plot summary

Two people who feel unsuccessful meet one evening in Monte Carlo. Georg Winkler is even contemplating committing suicide, when he meets 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, though 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.
