A fashionable woman touches down at Tegel airport. She has come to Berlin so that she "can at long last live out her fate", alcohol. She meets an alcoholic woman from the Berlin station known as "Bahnhof Zoo", poor and run down, but also vital. The newly arrived alcoholic's path takes her from the airport to the station steps at the Bahnhof Zoo and to the ladies' toilets: an endless descent right across the western part of the city. The two women keep meeting one another; alcohol would be one way to bridge the social gap between the rich woman and the tramp, but it does not work out.
