action
Georg Polte will have to go to jail for a break-in the following week. Shortly before, he wants to make an absolutely safe break. During a scheduled demolition of old buildings and the associated evacuation of various nearby companies, he wants to penetrate the VEB Plast building and weld a safety cabinet there. Among other things, industrial diamonds should be in the closet. Georg persuades the ex-prisoner Detlef Franzius to break up with him. Detlef suffers from claustrophobia , so that he was released early from prison, and is hesitant to be persuaded.
Georg meticulously prepared the break and procured two gas bottles and associated welding equipment. Both men wear the same clothes during the break-in. Both break into the vault through a skylight that is not locked. Georg welds open the safe, but it only contains files. There is a bunch of keys in a special compartment, there is no trace of the diamonds. Both men are locked in the room when the roof hatch closes in the course of the explosion and can no longer be opened. Detlef panics because he can't leave the room. While the workers slowly return to the factory, Georg tries to weld open the door to the room. At the end the door is opened by the workers Peter Bittner, Bernd Gunkel and Ralph Kaspar, who in the meantime have had a beer in the Einhorn restaurant and flirted with the waitress Lottchen. While Georg flees, but is soon caught, Detlef reacts lethargic. He has lost his mind, talks confused during the interrogation and is finally admitted to psychiatry. During the interrogation, Georg claims that he only wanted to prevent Detlef from breaking up. He followed him and was locked up with him.
While the investigators are still interrogating Georg and trying to persuade him to make a confession - Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner is only halfway there, he suffers from a toothache and is always called from the doctor's chair on a case - safes are being cleared out in two factories. The cabinets show no signs of burglary. It turns out that they were opened with duplicate keys or partly with keys from the bundle that Georg carelessly threw aside when it was broken. Jürgen Huebner recognizes that Georg was exploited in the break. He compares it to a truffle pig that can find the prey but cannot take it. Georg does not reveal who told him about the closet and the alleged diamonds. However, he manages to escape when he is transported back to prison. The police follow his heels but do not arrest him. The investigators know that Georg will take them to the backers.
In fact, after several stops in between, Georg goes to a winter sports resort and from there to the excursion destination Schneehütte . Here he meets Lottchen and threatens her. He accuses her of only using it for her crooked business. He wants to commit suicide and kill her too. Bernd Gunkel joins them, and Georg describes him as Lottchen's partner. There was a fight between the two men, which only the young Ralph Kaspar ended: he struck Georg down with a log. Lottchen encourages him to take the bleeding Georg with her on a rescue sledge to the village to the ABV , and Ralph agrees. Halfway through, Lottchen wants to leave Georg behind because he tells bad things about her, but Ralph rejects the plan. In the end, all three are overtaken by the police. Lottchen is arrested and confesses to having planned the break-ins together with Bernd Gunkel. Bernd is also arrested and taken away.
