Berlin Alexanderplatz

Franz, after several fleeting encounters, has finally become reacquainted with his former pimp Eva, who feels a deep affection for him, and has paid the rent for his old rooms in his absence. Meck introduces Franz to Pums, the ringleader of an illegal enterprise, and his right-hand man Reinhold. Tired of his woman, Fränze, Reinhold wants Franz to take her off his hands. Franz has her come over and has sex with her. She returns to him after she's unable to find Reinhold. Reinhold then employs the same plan with his current woman, Cilly, whom Franz accommodates after provoking a row with Fränze.
