The story:

Broken car scene: Patrick isn’t happy to play in a small town but Tony (manager) tells him that they need the money and if Patrick wouldn’t stop playing poker and lose the money, they wouldn’t have a car soon.

Autograph scene: Many girls are looking for an autograph. They are so dumb that they don’t realise that there is the wrong picture on the card. After that Patrick realises that there is a casino at the hotel. Tony isn’t glad about that.

Casino scene: Patrick is losing money. Just when Christa arrives and tells him that it’s No. 17, he wins.

Breakfast scene: tony can’t believe that Patrick was at the casino for the whole night, although he was winning a lot of money. Tony makes Patrick promise to do a rehearsal. But Patrick doesn’t tell him about a sight-seeing tour with Christa.

Thomas Kramer orders the girls to get close to Patrick and bring him to Henry’s Club for Poker.

In the meantime, Patrick and Christa are visiting the concert venue and have a talk:
C: What’s the matter Patrick?
P: Oh, nothing. I’m just thinking about somebody.
C: Your wife?
P: Yes. It was love at first sight. We were young and got married. I should have been the luckiest man in the world, but I didn’t realise that. I had party after party, and went from groupie to groupie. I was always thinking about me and my stardom and this didn’t let me see the big pain in her eyes. One day I came home and Linda and our baby were gone. I quickly realised that I lost my love and my love for the music too. Playing poker is now my love.
C: If you have enough money!
P: That’s the second problem. But let us talk about something else. It’s a very nice place here and the and the acoustics is perfect.

Coming back to the hotel, Tony is furious when Patrick didn’t come to the rehearsal and Christa is the reason. Patrick tells him the truth and they have champagne and apologize.

Thomas Kramer gives money to Henry and tells him to move the clocks two hours earlier to keep Patrick in the bar so he’ll miss the concert.

The girls are doing well – Patrick as the idea of strip-poker with them…

Henry wants revenge in poker and tells Patrick that there is enough time before the concert. Patrick believes him and likes the idea of poker.

Meanwhile at the hote, everybody is searching for Patrick. Only Ully realises that Thomas Kramer has something to do with this. She remembers hearing about Henry’s Club…

Tony and the hotel director go the Henry’s Club and find Patrick, just 15 minutes before the concert is due to start.

At the railway station, Ulla picks up Linda. She had phoned her and told her about Patrick’s pain.

While Thomas Kramer is sure that the concert will start and Patrick won’t go on stage, Patrick is drunk and talking about his lost love and saying that it doesn’t matter if he loses his fans too.

But a small voice in the background tells him “No Patrick, you didn’t lose all so far”. He turns his head and sees Linda.

Happy Ending!
