Der letzte Weynfeldt

Adrian Weynfeldt is driven to a nearby bar one night due to the absence of an olive in his Dry Martini. There, he meets a striking woman whose forthright manner and unrefined charm captivate him. He takes her home, and the next morning, she stands at the balcony railing, intent on jumping. Weynfeldt, though awkward, manages to talk her out of it. From that moment, Lorena holds him responsible for her life and repeatedly asks for his help in overcoming financial difficulties. He begins to pay her debts to a man named Pedroni, whom she claims is a debt collector. Later, his old friend Dr. Baier asks him to produce a forgery of Felix Vallotton's painting "Le Salamandre" for auction. As Weynfeldt, who has previously had no dealings with forgers or blackmailers, becomes entangled in these events, questions arise: What is Lorena's true role in this? And will he be able to resist the growing temptation?
