Lea has a friend named Felix. To Lea, he is nothing more than a friend, but she means much more to him than he ever will to her. He wants to get engaged to her, and she is the center of his plans for the future. One evening, when Felix tries to invite her to dinner, Lea finds out from her friend Betty that he's planning to propose to her at that very meal.She turns down his invitation, avoiding his proposal and the strife that surely would have ensued, and the next morning, on her way to work on the U-Bahn, she goes on to see the Face in the Crowd, a face she falls in love with instantaneously. But who is he?She calls him Curly because of his blond curls, and she sees his face again and again in her dreams and daydreams. Lea tries everything to find him, but nothing she does seems to bring her any closer to finding her mystery man. Neither Betty nor Felix show any sympathy for Lea's efforts to find Curly. Her cousin Rosi, however, thinks the story is absolutely romantic and has an ingenious plan for finding Curly.Will Rosi's plan unite Lea with her phantom lover, or will it just leave her searching for a needle in a haystack?
