This is the true story of Gisela Werler, whose life is radically changed by the charming bank robber, Wittorff. At first she is a mere helper, but then becomes the main force behind the robberies, stealing more and more money, dressed elegantly as a beautiful, sophisticated BANKLADY and risking everything for love.
