Peter (Peter Weck) receives a call from his ex-wife Grit (Gerlinde Locker), who announces to come for a visit, bringing her daughter Ulli (Ulli König)  along ... the twin sister of Gaby (Gaby König), who lives with Peter ... & somehow, the twins, looking exactly alike, start the typical massive confusion as they date 2 of Gaby's suitors (Ilja Richter, Christian Anders), both posing as Gaby.

Meanwhile more confusion ensues as Peter is accidently fired, accidently sends an insulting letter to his boss, accidently breaks into the post office, accdidently gets mixed up with a trio of robbers (led by Herbert Fux), accidently invites his girlfriend (Peggy March) to his appartment when he is desperately trying to get back together with his ex-wife, is accidently accused of having an affair with another woman by her husband (Ralf Wolter), & rather accidently, Peter gets out on top of it after all thanks tohis twin brother Ferdinand (also Peter Weck) ...

Even if my synopsis might make this sound slightly interesting, Das haut den stärksten Zwilling um is an incredibly unfunny situation comedy full of old & overused jokes, bad slapstick, inferior storytelling & weak Schlager-music (Schlager being a very cheesy form of German-language soft pop music).

Supporting players Christian Anders & Peggy March as well as bit part players Peter Maffay & Marianne Mendt were all popular Schlager singers of their time, & they all get an opportunity to sing a song, Ilja Richter did host an incredibly long-running music show on German television, Disco (1970 - 1982), that besides then popular disco-music also sometimes featured some Schlagers.
