action
After two years in prison for burglary and serious theft, Heiner Bauer was released from prison. While in custody, he had already replied to a partner ad from shop window decorator Kerstin Mai. He pretended to be on a foreign assignment. Well, after his arrest, they want to meet for the first time. Kerstin carelessly crosses the street on her bicycle and is promptly hit by the police car in which Captain Peter Fuchs is sitting. He just caught the trickster Frank Dietrich K Bäumenuss and wanted to go to the police station with him. Now he takes care of Kerstin, who absolutely wants to tell him something important. She asks him in the ambulance to wait for Heiner at the meeting point and to tell him that she cannot come. Peter Fuchs takes on the task and recognizes Heiner as an "old friend". He had worked on his case then.
Both men visit Kerstin together in the hospital. Kerstin immediately trusts Heiner and hands him her apartment keys. He's supposed to get some things from the apartment for her. She also offers to live in the apartment while she is in the hospital. He is supposed to look after her little daughter Ute, who is still in kindergarten and is currently visiting relatives. Peter Fuchs sees the matter with mixed feelings, but trusts Heiner. He abuses trust. After a few days he sees the pickpocket Ingelore Bludau again who, like her friend “fat cheek” Bogner, is part of his previous criminal life. He spends the night with her and opens the door for Peter Fuchs and Ute is hungover the next morning. Ingelore is still with him, reacts arrogantly to Peter Fuchs and leaves. Peter Fuchs is disappointed and asks Heiner to return the key and finally tell Kerstin the truth. Heiner confesses to Kerstin that he was with another woman in her apartment and gives her the key. He says nothing about his past, but breaks down crying when Kerstin gives him the key because he was honest with her.
Peter Fuchs and his team have been looking for a thief for a long time to steal the bags of the mourners at funerals. In the case of a heavily guarded funeral, they can find Bogner, but they cannot prove anything. You suspected too late that he was working with at least one other person. They let Bogner go, and he and Ingelore decide to give up their petty thefts. They want to land a great coup, for which they need the burglar specialist Heiner. Heiner strictly rejects cooperation. Bogner, who pretended to be a relative of Heiner's before Kerstin, now threatens to tell Kerstin everything about Heiner's past. He also took valuable jewelry with him in Kerstin's apartment, the theft of which he would hang Heiner on. While Heiner is blackmailed by Bogner and Ingelore, Peter Fuchs tells Kerstin about Heiner's past. She wants to part with Heiner spontaneously, but thinks about the matter again. Heiner took part in the preparation of the coup under pressure. Bogner and Ingelore want to rob a leather cleaner and steal valuable furs. Heiner draws the floor plan of the building with escape routes and windows. He hands over the plan to Bogner, but withdraws from the coup. Bogner agrees and commits the break-in together with Ingelore. Heiner, on the other hand, had a guilty conscience, watched the shop every evening and finally called the police in good time. Bogner and Ingelore are arrested. Kerstin has recognized that Heiner wants to change. He assures her that he has no further secrets from her and the two become a couple.
