action

Gisela Kühn appears with a large moving van in Wittenberge , where she wants to move into a house with her fiancé Ewald Schulz. Schulz arranged the purchase in her absence; Gisela had given him all of her cash for this. As she stands in front of Ms. Schindler's house, she tells her that she has long since sold the house to other interested parties. Schulz would never have reported back to her after the inspection. Gisela suffers a deadly shock. Lieutenant Peter Fuchs and Detective Lutz Subras take over the investigation. Gisela was a lonely woman. She had hardly any contact with her neighbors and she knew little about her work colleagues. In her letters is the advertisement through which she met Schulz: In it, the alleged industrial clerk Schulz describes that he is tired of being alone and is looking for a wife. The investigators learned from the advertising agency that Schulz's real name is Egon Schubert and that he is a musician. Apparently he's on tour right now. Lutz Subras finds out, however, that Schulz has not had an engagement for nine months. The investigators go in search of Schulz, who is driving an orange Moskvich . They left a note in his apartment with instructions to report to the police station.

In the meantime Schulz has placed a new ad through which he met the art historian Marga Lindemann in Dresden . She works in the porcelain collection in the Zwinger ; Her colleague Gina replied to the ad on her behalf so that Marga no longer has to live alone. Marga is not very enthusiastic at first, but takes a liking to the elegant Schulz. He invites her to the opera, but after a short time makes hints of wanting to stay with her. He also shows interest in buying a house, but Marga does not agree to either.

Schulz drives back to his Berlin apartment, where he finds the investigator's letter. He flees in his car to his friend Elfriede Hesse in Bitterfeld , who, like all other love affairs, believes that she is engaged to Schulz. He borrows her Trabant with which he drives back to Marga in Dresden. He finds her emotional weak point. Marga once went on a trip to Asia that she would like to repeat. However, she does not go on vacation in the summer to enable her colleague Gina to vacation. Instead, Marga wants to go to the Baltic Sea in winter. Through his connections, Schulz allegedly organizes flight tickets for the Berlin – Moscow – Samarkand route for Marga and himself. Marga is beside herself with joy and doesn't suspect anything when Schulz tries to pay for the tickets in cash. She would withdraw money for him.

The investigators discover Elfriede Hesse's Trabant in front of Marga's apartment. They look for Marga in the porcelain collection and tell her about the machinations of their lover. Marga is now working with the investigators. When she withdrew the money, Schulz pretends to have to make a phone call. In Marga's absence, he tries to escape and is arrested by the investigators.
