action
Herbert Burkhart, a late returnee who was only recently released from prisoner-of-war, does not find his way around the young Federal Republic. Decent work is not offered to the no longer very young man in Ludwig Erhard's economic miracle . His brother Klaus, significantly younger than him, is only marginally better off as a car washer. Nevertheless, Klaus lets Herbert persuade him to venture an unusual break into a bank. In the middle of a busy street, the two men set up a small work tent that was stretched over a manhole cover. So it is not noticeable that Herbert and Klaus dig a shaft through the sewer system to the vault.
Breaking through the final wall to the vault proves to be particularly difficult. Then a serious incident occurs: a man who recognizes them in their underground activities dies. Thereupon Klaus wants to get out of the project shortly before the end, in order not to endanger the future together with his girlfriend Margot. He withdraws, leaving his brother, sweating more and more fanatical, in the vault. But Klaus forgets that the open access to the vault is too high for Herbert to be able to escape to freedom with his prey alone without Klaus' help. In the distance you can already hear the police sirens.

Reviews
“From the much laughed at break-in of the anti-social Saß brothers, who in 1929, dressed as road workers, buried a bank building from below, emptied the safes and fled abroad with their loot, shaped author Herbert Reinecker ('The Star of Africa') glorified German problem. Brother Saß appears as a late returnee, faced with the German economic miracle - he gets no work. In 1957, out of social annoyance, the bank crackers (Martin Held and Hardy Krüger) grabbed the shovel. The film came to such an unconventional ending that moviegoers protested on the assumption that the last meters of film had been withheld from them. The distributor quickly added a clarifying outcome: the copied word 'end'. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: "According to a model case with a psychologically not fully convincing introduction but real-life interpreters staged tightly and in a compellingly clear atmosphere."
“Average thrilling crime film; Trying to provide a psychological justification, however, he primarily focuses on the detailed description of a crime. "
The large personal lexicon of the film called Klingler's film , which was strongly influenced by Jules Dassin's Rififi success , a "semi-documentary (s) and atmospherically tightly staged burglar drama".
