action
The employees of the Czechoslovak Defense Forces, Colonel Maratka and Major Kalasz, are faced with a difficult task. They have to solve a task that is important for the security of their country. The Prague State Security Headquarters had previously received information from the GDR that West German military espionage had apparently succeeded in deciphering the secret code B 13 from the area of missile armament. For Colonel Maratka and Major Kalasz there is now an urgent need to hurry. Because it is now absolutely necessary to find out who carried out this attack and how the code got into the hands of the enemy. Around the same time, a female corpse was discovered near the state border of the ČSSR . In the course of the investigation, it turns out that the woman was murdered and at about the same time a robbery was carried out on a postbus near the crime scene. All the results of the investigation by the State Security allow only one conclusion. The defense organs are dealing here with a widely ramified spy network that was apparently built up and initiated by the Nazi collaborator Ludwig Lebrun, who had disappeared since 1945.
