During a traditional Weiberfastnacht (or carnival) party, housekeeper Katharina Blum falls in love with a young fugitive named Ludwig, who is on the run from the police after deserting the army and stealing money from his camp. After spending the night with him, she helps him to escape from the police and journalists who are hounding him. In the process, she turns her peaceful and orderly life upside-down until she is finally driven to commit an act of extreme violence.
