action

After his shift in the wood processing company, Michael Preibisch drives home on his motorcycle. His brother Roland was no longer in the business. On the way home Michael sees him lying next to his motorcycle in a meadow not far from the road. A car is leaving. Roland is taken to hospital seriously injured. When he later woke up from the faint, it became clear that he would remain paraplegic. Chief Commissioner Peter Fuchs and Chief Commissioner Manfred Bergmann take over the investigation. According to skid marks and track width, the car involved in the accident must have been a Trabant. Michael suspects the culprit to be in the woodworking company's staff. The Trabants are checked, but there are no signs of an accident.

Michael believes that the investigators are not working fast enough and are investigating on their own. The day after the accident, he found an outside mirror in the meadow not far from the crime scene. He hides the find and checks the cars himself in the company parking lot. The exterior mirror on Alfred Müller's Trabant was replaced. The holder is on the back shelf. Michael confronts Alfred in the company and threatens to beat him. Works manager Dietmar Stegemeier can only separate the two men with difficulty. Alfred is taken to the station, but can only say that his outside mirror was broken off. Paint tests show that cars and mirrors do not belong together. It becomes clear that suspicion should be actively directed towards Alfred. Michael later apologizes to Alfred, who expresses another suspicion. Daniela Pielmann drove a Trabant that day. The secretary of the company has a secret affair with manager Dietmar, who is rumored in the company. Michael secretly gains access to the Pielmanns' garage and recognizes from the scratches and the mirror that this Trabant must be the crime car.

The investigators have since found out that Daniela had come to work with a Trabant. However, nobody saw her driving home. The review found that Pielmann's car was the Trabant involved in the accident. A neighbor says that Michael ran away from the garage a short time ago. The investigators learn from Daniela's parents that Daniela is in her boathouse on the lake. There they only find Daniela's corpse floating in the water. A man tries to flee across the lake, but Manfred Bergmann is able to confront him: it is Dietmar Stegemeier.

Dietmar says that he found Daniela dead in the water. When the police came, he panicked. The investigators are now looking for Michael Preibisch, who flees when he sees them coming. He rushes to Roland's bed at the hospital and tells him that Daniela caused the accident. Roland contradicts him. Another woman was behind the wheel. Michael is desperate because he killed Daniela. He testified in front of the investigators who arrested him in the hospital that he wanted to confront her, but that she was unable to answer his questions about the crime. He assumed she was trying to excuse and knocked her down when she wanted to leave. Dazed by the blow, she fell into the water. Michael didn't pull the unconscious woman out so she drowned.

Daniela's death has been resolved, but Roland's accident is not. The investigators learn from Dietmar that he was in the boathouse with Daniela that evening and that someone suddenly drove away with her Trabant parked on the property. Even now he suspects a bad trick: The car was later found in front of the Pielmanns property. Daniela and Dietmar, who were looking for the car, saw Carsten Heideklang, Daniela's friend, shortly afterwards. Dietmar's wife told him about the relationship between their respective partners and went to the boathouse. However, there he saw neither the couple nor the Trabant, he reports to the investigators. They now know that only Susanne Stegemeier is a possible perpetrator, who was questioned by them earlier. Only now does she admit that she was at the boathouse before Carsten and heard Dietmar and Daniela. She wanted to erase one of them both and stole the car. While driving, she caused the accident with Roland and hit a hit. Originally, she had planned that Daniela would have to report the car as missing, with Dietmar then serving as a witness. The relationship would have become so public. Now she parked the car at the Pielmanns'. Daniela would have been happy to have him back while the police were clearing the case. In the evening Susanne had confessed to her husband about the accident and he tried to cover up the case through the broken side mirror. Both cases have now been resolved, Dietmar must let the investigators go. Although he was involved in both cases, no criminal act can be proven.
