1560년, 스페인 원정대는 아마존 강 기슭에 있다는 황금의 도시 엘도라도를 향해 모험을 나선다. 아무도 가보지 않은 전설의 땅으로 가는 길이 험난해지자 피사로 장군은 우루수아를 대장으로 임명하고, 40명의 선발대를 뗏목에 태워 강으로 먼저 보낸다. 원정대와 선발대가 약속한 사전 조사 기간은 일주일, 하지만 엘도라도에 대한 강한 정복욕에 사로잡힌 아귀레는 대장 우루수아를 가두고 반란을 일으킨다. 배고픔과 질병, 식인종들의 습격 속에서 작은 뗏목은 커다란 광기에 휩싸이는데...
The wealthy man Tobias Knopp becomes ever more lonely and quirky over the years. He had let himself go, his girth increased significantly, and his hair fell out. Over that, he waited too long for the right woman and stayed a bachelor involuntarily. But now, he wants to try again one more time and wants to get married after all. But first of all, the right woman for this has to be found, and thus Knopp embarks on a journey to look for a wife all through the German lands. During that, he visits his friends who are already married for a long time and gets all kinds of advice from them on how to get to know a woman and to conquer her heart. On his journey, Knopp then learns much about the different facets of married life. After countless adventures, he, however, doesn’t find an adequate partner and returns home frustrated. But perhaps, his housekeeper might be able to help out?
