action

Plumber Klaus Ahnert receives instructions for a perfect robbery in the mail that would bring in 90,000 marks. The anonymous tipster makes it a condition that he receives 30,000 marks of the profit. Klaus persuades the adorable photographer Werner Brune to take part in the theft, which is as simple as it is ingenious.

Payroll clerk Herbert Siebert is furious because his wife did not come home at night. She spent the night with Herberts and her colleague in March. It is an open secret that both have a relationship. In the morning Herbert picks up 90,000 marks in wages from the bank. He drives the car to his weekend property to see if his wife has been there the last night. Around 50 seconds of absence from the car is enough for the multi-secured money case to be stolen. This is found empty a little later on Herbert's weekend property. Herbert's car, on the other hand, shows no signs of burglary. Herbert is arrested as an urgent suspect.

He vehemently denies the act and Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner also has doubts, especially since the overly correct Herbert is already extremely uncomfortable with the theft. Since the act cannot be proven, he is released. The investigators have no specific clue to other perpetrators and also suspect Herbert's wife and her lover. However, both have an alibi. Jürgen Hübner can finally reconstruct the sequence of events. The perpetrators must have converted a second car so that it looked like the first one perfectly. Jürgen Huebner tests his acceptance with Lieutenant Sabine Berghoff, who puts the suitcase in car A, which continues in her short absence and is replaced by car B. She does not notice the difference, as the locks and license plate on car B have been replaced.

Herbert Siebert retired to his weekend house after his release from prison. Furious, he smashes a photo of his wife, but finds a dried flower behind the frame and the company sign of the photographer, who is Werner Brune. Herbert looks for him and lets himself be photographed. Werner recognizes Herbert, but shows nothing except a noncommittal smile. He reports to Klaus that Herbert was with him. In the evening he goes to a bar with Lieutenant Kretschmar, who had visited him. Klaus sees him there and thinks he is the anonymous client. He asks if everything is okay, but Herbert is irritated. Klaus apologizes to him and leaves. Lieutenant Kretschmar follows him and discovers a car in his garage that is identical to Herberts. During a closer examination of the car, Kretschmar is knocked down by Klaus. A little later they both see each other again at the police station. The old car locks and the earlier license plate were found at Klaus'. Klaus admits the theft and leads the investigators to the stolen money, which has disappeared. Klaus had given the share of the robbery for the anonymous tipster anonymously some time beforehand.

Renate Siebert speaks to her husband. She tells him that Brune, with whom she once had a relationship, is the father of her daughter Elke. However, she knows that she told Brune a lot about Herbert and his habits. Brune was even allowed to use the family's car for a day. Renate told all of this to the police, which Brune is now summoning. In the end, it turns out that Brune was the anonymous tipster. Not only did he take the 30,000 marks as a tipster, he also stole the 60,000 marks from the hiding place that Klaus had created. Both men are arrested.
