Rechtzeitig zu seinem 60. Geburtstag blickt Wolfgang Bahro auf sein bisheriges Leben zurück, in dem Rechtsanwalt Jo Gerner eine besonders große Rolle spielt. Diesen Juristen mit einem fatalen Hang zu ungesetzlichen Handlungen verkörpert Bahro in der Kultserie "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" seit 1993. Und zwar so gut, dass er damit zum Publikumsliebling wurde. Obwohl es ein Leben vor Gerner gab und sogar eines neben ihm gibt, in dem Bahro erfolgreich Theater spielt und eigene Kabarettprogramme aufführt, überstrahlt dieser Typ alles.
