"Saturday is the most important day" – especially in the Ruhr area. The Dortmund-based director Adolf Winkelmann accompanies several protagonists during a Bundesliga match at the Westfalenstadion. Hardcore fan Gottschalk is smuggling pidgeons and gets drunk in the club house. Barkeeper Teddy′s wife is cheating on him with the substitute player Niebitsch. Niebitsch gets the opportunity to make a great performance but cracks under pressure. Hooligan Hubsi humiliates him and leaves him in shambles. Meanwhile, club president Vischering is after an attractive journalist and tries to get an invitation to the TV sports programme "Das Aktuelle Sportstudio" while the club is on the brink of bankruptcy and the sleazy player′s agent Beyer is already undermining Vischering′s position.
