action

One evening, millionaire wife Marion Mezger is kidnapped by building contractor Degenhart and a young accomplice. They seal her eyes with black flaps and take her to an apartment in a high-rise building. Mezger alarmed because he missed his wife, Commissioner Haferkamp, ​​who was on the night shift, and who dismissed the matter as a routine matter and did not initiate anything major.

The next day he was severely reprimanded by his boss for this. But Mezger has already received a call from the kidnappers and asks the police to stay out. Nevertheless, the police are trying to monitor the planned transfer of funds at a lower level. This takes place by train. Mezger is instructed to throw five million DM in a suitcase from the train . After the accomplice and Degenhart have taken the money, they release Ms. Mezger on the spot and flee. The men part ways in the apartment.

But Degenhart was seen in the house by an elderly lady who reported this to Commissioner Haferkamp. He has the apartment examined by forensics. Everything fits and the compromised Degenhart is also known to Haferkamp as the culprit. But Ms. Mezger is not sure whether it is the apartment, and Degenhart is released after a short pre- trial detention. A game of cat and mouse, also friendly, between Degenhart and Haferkamp begins, which has him shadowed in order to be able to convict him of a mistake. On the side, he even tries to trap Degenhart's ex-wife. But she refuses, after she was actually not averse.

Degenhart flies to Munich and is shadowed there by Inspector Veigl. He is observed with his school friend Fischer. He asks him to somehow " wash " the money because he cannot spend it because of the registration numbers. When his friend visits him in Essen , Degenhart realizes that the police have long since been shadowing him and breaks off the plan. But Fischer decides the possible hiding place, a place from his youth, to show Commissioner Haferkamp. The money is actually there in an old bunker. Haferkamp lies in wait there. But it is not Degenhart who appears, but Ms. Mezger. She showed Degenhart that she wants to leave her husband, go abroad, get the money for him and exchange it abroad, in order to then send him a share. The inspector arrests Degenhart in his villa, who lets himself be taken away.
