action

Renate Müller runs through a forest and stops a car on the street that takes her to her company. The driver at GHG Technik reports to her manager that her car was stolen. The car is found a little later: it was completely destroyed in a car accident. Part of the transported goods are missing. A seriously injured man lies next to the car. The cold-headed captain Peter Fuchs takes over the investigation, supported by Lieutenant Berger. The seriously injured man is Klaus Born, who has just been released from prison after two years in prison. Since Klaus is in a coma, the investigators begin to question his former inmates. The investigators assume another perpetrator who managed to escape, and Renate also believes that she saw a passenger in the moving car. Willi Kuhn has an alibi, while Peter Brück says he went for a walk at the time of the crime. In a later questioning, Peter initially flees from the investigators because, according to his own information, he was driving his father-in-law's car and without a driver's license . Peter is provisionally arrested.

When re-enacting the theft of the car, Renate made various mistakes and was unsure, so she had stated that she had stopped at a locked barrier in the forest area . Since there was no train, she got out and kept an eye out on the tracks. She was walking into the woods for a moment when she heard the sound of the engine of her car and saw it drive away. Now, during the reenactment of the scene, after the short break on the rails, she walks into the forest area opposite from what she had stated in the initial interview. In the course of the crime, in which Peter is behind the wheel, she identifies Peter as the driver at the time. While Lieutenant Berger wants to arrest Peter immediately, Peter Fuchs has doubts. He realizes that Renate is hiding something, especially since she has taken the whole thing so badly that she is on sick leave because of symptoms of shock.

Klaus Born dies of his injuries. When his mother was questioned, it became clear that shortly before commencing prison, Klaus was still with a young woman who was expecting a child from him. The woman who separated from him when she found out about his conviction was Renate. She made her new husband believe that her son was his child. The investigators are looking for Renate, but she has disappeared. She left a suicide note in her house in which she admits that she herself caused the accident. She writes that her son's father is Klaus and that she will kill herself. Her husband searches for her in vain. At the freight yard, however, Renate realizes that she does not have the strength to kill herself. She remembers the deed, how Klaus checked her in at her place of work and wanted to see their child. How she refused and he threatened to visit his son without her consent and to make his fatherhood known. And how she accidentally tore the steering wheel and caused the accident. She now returns to her house, where her husband, mother and the investigators are waiting for her and are relieved.
