German SummaryDer Schiffsheizer Heini Holler mustert aus gesundheitlichen Gründen in Griechenland ab und meldet sich im Konsulat des faschistischen Deutschland. Der Konsul schickt ihn nach Hamburg zurück. Vorher hat er ihn der dortigen Gestapo als politisch verdächtig gemeldet. Bei seiner Ankunft wird Holler sofort verhaftet. Seine Kameraden entführen den Konsul und fordern einen Austausch gegen Heini, der in Marseille stattfinden soll. Die Gestapo geht zum Schein darauf ein, sichert sich die Unterstützung der französischen Polizei, um der Entführer habhaft zu werden. Die Solidarität der Seeleute in Marseille jedoch ist stärker, Heini wird seine Lungenkrankheit in der Sowjetunion auskurieren können.

English SummaryThe ship's heater Heini Holler is checking out Greece for health reasons and reports to the consulate of fascist Germany. The consul sends him back to Hamburg. He had previously reported him to the Gestapo there as politically suspicious. Holler is arrested as soon as he arrives. His comrades kidnap the consul and demand an exchange against Heini, which is to take place in Marseille. The Gestapo, to put it bluntly, takes it upon itself to secure the support of the French police in order to get hold of the kidnapper. But the solidarity of the seamen in Marseille is stronger, Heini will be able to cure his lung disease in the Soviet Union.
