Der Fischer und seine Frau is a story about Otto (Ulmen) and his friend Leo (Verhoeven), who are German veterinarians travelling Japan looking for fish to buy and sell. They meet young German fashion designer Ida (Lara) and both fall in love with her.
Ida doesn't care for Leo and ends up with Otto. They soon get married, and Ida discovers she's pregnant. However, problems arise as Ida wants money and a real house for their child to grow up in, while Otto is content with the way things are and lacks ambition.
As Ida travels more to sell her fashion, she makes more money and grows apart from her family.
