action

For some time now, wallets and money have been stolen from the Balt-Orient-Express on German soil. The investigators around Chief Detective Peter Fuchs, Superintendent Jürgen Huebner and Superintendent Lutz Zimmermann smuggle police into the wagons to watch the passengers. One day, the waste glass collector Lothar Berger is approached by an alleged conductor who offers him to help out with theft. The wrong conductor is print shop employee Torsten Feist, who in uniform can easily approach the guests in the sleeping car and can always steal their wallets unnoticed. Lothar Berger, who is divorced from his wife and is only rarely allowed to see the two children, needs money and agrees to work together. It essentially consists in the fact that Lothar keeps the actual conductor away from Torsten's “action area”, as the train passengers and the conductor would otherwise get behind the trick. Torsten and Lothar commit further thefts in front of the investigators.

Lothar wants to get out soon, his new girlfriend is expecting a child and instinctively distrusts Torsten. He implores Lothar that the breaks are absolutely safe. Nevertheless, they shift to other offenses. They rob old Erna Weber's cash register in her mom and pop shop . When Erna Weber becomes suspicious and tries to confront Torsten, Lothar knocks her down with a massive wooden board. Erna Weber is seriously injured and taken to a hospital, but would not be a good witness for the investigators due to her severe myopia.

Because of the thefts on the train, a witness was able to have a phantom picture of Torsten made. Since, according to other witnesses, he always took a taxi after leaving the train, Jürgen Huebner pretends to be a taxi driver and one day actually drives Torsten to his girlfriend. The investigators now know Torsten and have already started investigations into Lothar, who, as a school dropout with little education, is the most socially conspicuous among the regular train passengers. The investigators cannot find a connection between the two men, but they know that Torsten has at least one accomplice.

The next men's theft is particularly sophisticated. Torsten has printed false passports for both of them at work, which they are now supposed to legitimize as investigators. At a petrol station, they state that counterfeit money has come into circulation and that they therefore have to examine the bills they have taken. As expected, they find “counterfeit money”, which is why they confiscate all bills. The gas station seller realizes too late that he has been eaten by fraudsters. Lutz Zimmermann learns from a neighbor not far from the Tante-Emma-Laden crime scene that Torsten and Lothar regularly go fishing together in his boat. The petrol station act also quickly makes the investigators think of Torsten and Lothar, who, according to the neighbor, are fishing together on the nearby lake. In reality, the way across the lake serves as a safe escape route for them. When they return to their getaway car parked on the bank, Torsten and Lothar are finally arrested.
