action

First Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner and Lieutenant Vera Arndt are faced with a riddle: Several women file charges with them because their male acquaintances fled after a few days of being together and stole money from them. It always seems to be the same man, who, however, appears under different names and different occupations. He is always supposed to be active in the music and artistic field, sometimes appearing as a student and sometimes as an art historian. At the same time, the museums discover in the places where the man is staying that valuable original items have been stolen from them. Jürgen Hübner and Vera Arndt are making slow progress with their investigations.

Margitta Lüders gives the first clues. For her, the man posed as Dieter Zahn, who worked as an architect. The man described as charming stole some cash from her and left her early in the morning. Finally he hitchhiked, was dropped off at a truck stop and tried in vain to find a new love affair with the waitress. Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor was playing on the radio, and the man was dying to hear it. In front of the waitress, he says he would like to see the concert. A little later he was taken to Zwickau by Irene Born . Irene falls in love with the man who introduces himself to her as Peter Bachmann and an art dealer. Peter also wants to settle down with Irene and finally confesses that he steals works of art to sell to contacts in the West. He promised Irene that he would stop working, but discovered the original score of Schumann's piano concerto in the Schumann Museum in Zwickau . He wants to steal it and doesn't shy away from the fact that Museum Director Meißner is a friend of Irene's family.

The police are very close to Peter. He enters the museum at night through a window that was secretly manipulated on the day of the visit and takes the score. His theft is disturbed by a drunk who confuses the museum door with the entrance to a pub and loudly demands alcohol. Peter is surprised because Director Meißner lives in the museum building. This turns away the drunk, but when you go to bed, he becomes aware of the open toilet door and notices the break-in. There is a duel between Meissner and Peter, as a result of which Peter pushes the museum director down the stairs. He thinks Meißner is dead and flees. At Irene's, he packs things and wants to go, but Irene joins him. Both flee in Irene's car. However, when Irene hears that Peter killed Meißner, she wants to get out. She throws the wheel and is knocked out by Peter. Peter puts the unconscious Irene on the side of the road and drives on. A truck driver standing behind him finds Irene and notifies the police. She has now found the injured Meissner and had him transported to the hospital. The persecution of Peter intensifies and he can eventually be caught and arrested for theft and assault.
