Plot
A young German maths scholar Wolf Hauser (Hardy Krüger) arrives for a year at Cambridge on a Student exchange programme. Settling into his rooms at University College, Wolf has more than his share of trouble negotiating English customs and manners, as well as being the victim of pranks from his fellow students. He eventually finds solace with a girlfriend called Ann (Sylvia Syms).
