So far she has only sung in the church choir. Nevertheless, the teacher's wife Burkharda Meier from Brandenburg dreams of a career as a singer. Her first casting, in which a vocal soloist is wanted for a luxury cruise ship, ends in disaster. Burkharda is lucky, however, because thanks to a mix-up of names, she surprisingly gets the job and goes - against the will of her bourgeois husband Rüdiger - as "Nancy Meyer" on board the MS Olympia Voyager. Their first appearance on the luxury liner still creates certain irritations among the musicians. But Burkharda can read music, and thanks to the patient support of the sensitive on-board pianist Hartwin, she manages to win the hearts of the passengers with charm and little tricks. Hartwin falls in love with the blossoming singer, but for the time being she only has eyes for the daring artistic director Fred Hahn. Burkharda's (love) luck on this dreamy cruise would be perfect, but a passenger who knows the real Nancy Meyer threatens to expose her wrong game. A scuffle ensues: man overboard. The problem would be solved if the pensioner Zopf did not try to blackmail Burkharda with a self-made video recording of the sensitive scene. Mr. Zopf doesn't die of natural causes either, and while the number of unsympathetic men on board is steadily reducing, Burkharda is getting closer and closer to her real dream prince. But until she lands in the arms of the loving pianist Hartwin, the cynical ripper Fred Hahn has to step over the railing.
