Theme

Despite its title, Der Ostfriesen-Report is not a sex report film but a Bavarian sex comedy film bringing in elements from East Frisian jokes. Shot mainly in and around Neßmersiel, the film brings two popular German regional stereotypes (Bavarians vs. East Frisians) together. [1] The film was sometimes known as Swedish Playgirls, despite the fact it is set in Germany rather than Sweden. It was followed by a loose sequel Revenge of the East Frisians in 1974.

Plot

A Munich night club owned by East Frisian Ossi Jansen is in decline. He commissions two hardheaded Bavarians, night club director Alois Mooser and his raunchy girlfriend Lisa, to travel to East Frisia and recruit fresh girls.
