Hans Pollak is a hardcore fan of Schalke 04. Together with his best friend Mike, he is member of the "Dios Knappen Gelsenkirchen" supporters club, named after their idol, the (fictional) Schalke star player, Pablo Di Ospeo. Pollak is so single-minded that he neglects the birth of his second child to watch his favorite club, and takes his family and girlfriend for granted. One day, Pollak decides to bet his house that Di Ospeo will score in the next game. He is shocked to see that his idol is addicted to
cocaine, abducts him, and chains him into his room to make him quit
cold turkey. Then, Pollak's neglected girlfriend has an affair and Pollak's mother dies of a
heart attack. Di Ospeo tries to rescue her but cannot reach her because he is shackled. Beyond desperate, Pollak decides to hang himself so that his family will at least get his life insurance. His friends save him using a Schalke flag, and a rehabilitated Di Ospeo scores the winning goal in the next game. Having won the bet after all, Pollak keeps his house and makes up with his girlfriend. ==Guest roles==
