Felix is insured too low ; 80,000 euros are missing that he does not have. Ambitious young lawyer Sandra Starck has successfully completed her first case. But her boss, attorney Schiller, makes it clear that he mainly expects sexual services from Sandra and gropes her unrestrainedly. Sandra exposes him in front of her colleagues and resigns without notice. She ends the relationship with her colleague Martin, who also works for the law firm Schiller & Partner, who has taken his boss under protection and does not support Sandra, and moves in with her friend Patricia.

Sandra, who has meanwhile defied a severance payment from Schiller, offers Felix to join his office as a partner for a payment of 80,000 euros.
