As an old man nearing the end of his life, Adso, youngest son of the Baron of Melk recounts how, as a young novice in 1327, he accompanied his mentor, the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville to a Benedictine abbey in Northern Italy. The abbey had been chosen as the site for a theological debate between the Franciscan order and the Pope on the poverty of Christ. The abbey is already home to a famed scriptorium where scribes copy, translate or illuminate books. The mysterious recent death of the monk Adelmo of Otranto - a young but famous illuminator - has stirred fears among the abbey's devout inhabitants. The Abbot seeks help from William, known for his deductive powers. The illuminator's death cannot be dismissed as a suicide because the body was found at the foot of a tower having only a window which cannot be opened. William is reluctant to involve himself, though he is persuaded not only because of the intellectual challenge, but also because of his desire to disprove fears of a demonic culprit in Adelmo's death. William is also motivated to act by his fears that the Abbot will summon officials of the inquisition if the mystery remains unsolved.

Tommy et Mike, deux amis, émettent régulièrement le lundi à 15h en radio pirate à partir d'un studio de fortune dans un appartement pour qu'il y ait autre chose que le service public et son "programme stupide". La radio est très populaire, sauf pour Müller-Hammeldorf, le directeur du divertissement de la Bayerischer Rundfunk. Compte tenu de la baisse constante des chiffres d'audience de son propre programme, il souhaite ardemment la fin de cette radio illégale. Il aurait été exaucé sans l'aide inattendue de la sœur de Mike, Irmgard. Elle présente aux animateurs un nouvel émetteur mobile qui tient dans un camping-car. Avec maintenant 200 kilomètres de couverture et de nombreux contrats publicitaires pour financer le projet, "Radio Powerplay" est relancé. A lieu alors un jeu du chat et de la souris entre l'estafette et la police. Afin de continuer à émettre, Tommy et Mike doivent prendre des déguisements, parfois bizarres. La confrontation finale se fait dans un pensionnat de jeunes filles. Mais au lieu d'une condamnation, le directeur des programmes de BR a une surprise pour les deux amis : il les engage à la BR. Tout se finit dans une grande fête.

Franz Woyzeck, a lowly soldier stationed in a provincial German town, is the father of an illegitimate child by his mistress Marie. Woyzeck earns extra money for his family by performing menial jobs for the Captain and agreeing to take part in medical experiments conducted by the Doctor. As one of these experiments, the Doctor tells Woyzeck he must eat nothing but peas. It is obvious that Woyzeck's mental health is breaking down and he begins to experience a series of apocalyptic visions. Meanwhile, Marie grows tired of Woyzeck and turns her attentions to a handsome drum major, who in an ambiguous scene taking place in Marie's bedroom, arguably rapes her.
