action
The following events largely take place in real time between 10:45 p.m. and 12:15 a.m., the moviegoers were informed by a clock in the film how far they were from the solution of the case:
On the eve of an eagerly awaited horse race, a number of sometimes rather opaque guests meet at the renowned Turfhotel Leutner. Among them is the shady consul Pallant, who has gone here with his entourage. The "weird birds" have gathered at a table, which is seized by a strange unrest. Allegedly one is a motley betting community. The enthusiastic amateur radio operator Martin Leutner, the son of the hotel owner, is in the room of his fiancée Maria Mertens. Here he receives supposedly legal betting tips for tomorrow's race on behalf of the windy consul.
Initially, Martin, who becomes more and more nervous in the course of the plot, does not suspect that he has got caught up in the criminal machinations of Pallant and his crook friends, because in truth the radio messages are the encrypted communication of a dangerous gang of dollar forgers whose head is the consul . Also, nobody knows that the police have meanwhile infiltrated the Turfhotel in order to put Consul Pallant to rest: the slick, exemplary, correct waiter of the Leutner house is really none other than criminal investigation officer Hans Wiegler. Shortly after midnight, he finally begins to become active and finally lets the trap snap shut at 12:15 a.m.
