In the notorious "Camp 13", an elite training center, the attractive and busty Jasmin Funke is supposed to hold her own and prove that women can do their job with a gun just as well as men. Drill sergeant Behrmann puts our heroine in solitary confinement after verbally disparaging her. In prison, Jasmine is taken away by two drive-driven recruits. But Fräulein Funke quickly turns the tables, is not stingy with her feminine charm and uncovers scandalous conditions in the camp. Mistresses, wives and other sluts go in and out of the camp. Sexual misconduct by the soldiers is the order of the day, but suddenly the politicians also have a problem.
