action
Investigator Jürgen Huebner is in prison to speak to Fred Schneidereit. He has applied for early release from prison, but Jürgen Huebner does not recognize him even after years of imprisonment. It's always the other's fault, and Fred thinks he just got into one thing. Jürgen Hübner leaves Fred after a short time. He begins to recapitulate the events that led to his conviction.
Fred, who was raised by his criminal brother Karl-Heinz after the early death of his parents, meets young Vera. She has just come out of custody and has no place to stay. Fred takes her with him and a short time later they both marry. You are moving into a new apartment and are just setting it up when Vera asks Fred a hypothetical question. She once gave her pregnant sister Sophia, who was abandoned by her boyfriend, the tip to contact her superior, Dr. To marry Bartuschek and present the child as his. That was 17 years ago. Sophia Bartuschek gave Vera some hush money back then. Vera now wants to know from Fred how his brother would have taken advantage of the situation. Fred finds out that Karl-Heinz extorted Sophia and demanded a rather small sum from Sophia every month. Sophia would not have spoken because the money handed over by the postman would have been acknowledged and these receipts would have been received by Dr. Bartuschek could have been handed over.
To Fred's horror, Vera takes on the blackmail strategy and Sophia begins to pay, under pressure. A little later, Vera was appointed head of the casino kitchen at the institute, on which Bartuschek also worked. She embezzles money because an inventory has not taken place for a long time. Four times she can steal several thousand marks until the family account has grown to almost 10,000 marks. Vera then puts the money in her savings account, which is still in her maiden name. At Fred's instigation, they both hand over the savings account to Sophia for safekeeping. When the inventory takes place at the institute and the high shortfall is found, Fred wants to collect the savings book from Sophia to be on the safe side, but she has already handed the book over to her husband. Bartuschek also learns from Sophia that Gert is not his son. Vera should now face the police within 24 hours. Otherwise, Dr. Bartuschek send the savings book to the public prosecutor's office; he does not want to be involved in the case itself. Fred goes to him and wants to blackmail him. He threatens to tell Gert about his real father and to inform Bartuschek's colleagues about his non-paternity. When Dr. Bartuschek falls furiously at Fred and chokes him, Fred stabs him with a letter opener. He then manages to escape. Since Vera was already under suspicion and targeted by the police for embezzlement of funds at the institute, Jürgen Hübner finds the connection between murder and embezzlement: Sophia worked as Bartuschek's secretary before her marriage, so her maiden name is known. Vera's maiden name is in her squad file . Vera is being arrested. During her subsequent questioning, Sophia hands over the savings book to the investigators. Vera and Fred are arrested and sentenced to prison terms.
In retrospect, Fred finally realizes that he himself is to blame for his misconduct. He will completely rewrite the letter to the public prosecutor asking for early release.
