action

The Italian guest workers Ernesto Llimi, Cesare Dall 'Antonio, Carmelo Alberti, Romano Darfú and Francesco Lirati live together in a room in the guest worker dormitory in Munich's Westendstrasse. They all work for a company that almost exclusively works on the rail network of the Deutsche Bundesbahn . One night Ernesto, Cesare, Carmelo and Romano carry a cupboard with the corpse of their colleague Francesco from the dormitory and put it on the roof of a car. They are watched by the Turkish guest worker Murat Bugra, who lives on the same floor of the dormitory. Ernesto Lenzei has a relationship with the German waitress Eva, who in turn was previously in a relationship with Murat Bugra, but then ended the relationship. Murat Bugra wants to win Eva back.

The next morning, the body of Francesco Lirati is found between the tracks of a federal railway construction site in the apron of Munich Central Station . At first everything looks like an accident at work . Apparently, while grounding the overhead line, which he believed had already been switched off , Francesco touched the live overhead line with a grounding rod and was killed by the electric shock. But forensic medicine quickly found that Francesco Lirati did not die on the railroad track in the morning, but died at least ten hours beforehand.

Veigl, who was recently promoted to chief detective, takes up the investigation. At this point in time, he had to temporarily relocate his assistant Lenz to the illegal employment commissioner. With his second assistant Brettschneider and the interpreter Welponer, Veigl interrogates all guest workers living in the dormitory. But he doesn't get anywhere, the men can't give him any more information. Murat Bugra is also silent about his observations. When the commissioners have left the dormitory, Murat Bugra lures Ernesto Lenzei into the washroom and tries to blackmail him. If he gave Eva back to him, he would not pass on his observations to Inspector Veigl. But Ernesto doesn't think about parting with Eva. A scuffle breaks out between the two men, in the course of which Ernesto defeats Murat. Murat is seriously injured in the fall, but survives. In a panic, Ernesto escapes and hides with Eva.

The further interrogations in the dormitory do not bring Commissioner Veigl any further. The Italian guest workers are silent about the actual events because they believe that the widow of the murdered colleague, who has meanwhile arrived in Munich, would not receive a pension if the real events became known. This was explained to them by the foreman of their company, Winninger, who arranged the five Italian guest workers to work illegally on a private house.

Chance comes to the rescue of Inspector Veigl. The seconded inspector Lenz reports from a controlled illegal construction site on which a large amount of building material from the German Federal Railroad was found. Is there a connection? Inspector Veigl doesn't really believe in this coincidence, but nevertheless he sets out with assistant Brettschneider and observes the construction site from a safe distance. In fact, they discover three of the Italians from the dormitory who are working on the construction site. Inspector Brettschneider, who did not interrogate the Italians in the dormitory, is disguised as a temporary worker and smuggled into the construction site, where he receives some scant information that suggests that the killed Francesco may have died on this undeclared construction site. But before Brettschneider can get definitive evidence, he has to flee when suddenly Winninger appears. The dubious foreman notices that he is being discovered and removes all of the Bundesbahn's building materials.

The Italians are now worried about their colleague Ernesto Lenzei who has disappeared without a trace. Murat Bugra, driven by jealousy and a thirst for revenge, has got a pistol and is now in front of Eva's house. He wants revenge on Ernesto for the injury he has suffered. In a panic, Eva goes to the police station and asks to speak to Commissioner Veigl. But he has just had a visit from Cesare Dall 'Antonio, who can no longer take the psychological pressure and finally reports to Commissioner Veigl the true circumstances of the death of Francesco Lirati. While working on the construction site, Francesco stumbled upon a power line with a jackhammer through an incorrectly drawn construction plan and was electrocuted. Eva cannot be held back any longer and storms into Inspector Veigl's office and informs him that Murat Bugra, armed with a pistol, is trying to kill Ernesto Lenzei. The commissioners rush to Eva's house. Murat Bugra has now lured Ernesto L Limiti out of the apartment. The men are in the underground car park and Murat Bugra tries to shoot Ernesto Lenzei. However, this escapes itself between the parked vehicles. After a brief exchange of fire with the officers, Murat Bugra finally surrenders.
