action

First Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner and First Lieutenant Manfred Bergmann are confronted with a break-in in a warehouse in which three valuable imported electrical devices were stolen. Various traces can be found in the escape vehicle that suggest a group of young perpetrators. You are connected to Arnold Feldmann, called "Nolle". He is no stranger to the investigators, as he was recently released from prison.

One day Nolle is at the door of Udo Walter, with whom he had made contact in prison. Udo has built a new life and lives with Marlies Rambach and her daughter Anja. He and Marlies want to get married, but she doesn't know anything about Udo's past. Udo owes Nolle: after Udo's conviction, his mother died. He had no money for the funeral, so Nolle paid for it. Now Nolle wants his money back - at least 2,000 marks - but Udo only has 500 marks. He tries in vain to borrow money from Marlies or Dispatcher Karl. Nolle offers him a deal: Udo, the driver of the Auto Trans Berlin company, is supposed to "black" transport goods for him on tours that are due anyway. For each transport, Nolle forgives him 100 marks of the debt. Udo reluctantly takes on a tour, especially since Nolle threatens to reveal his past to Marlies.

Marlies would have the 2,000 marks to pay Udo's debts, but she has put the money aside for her daughter and does not want to touch it. When Nolle gives Udo a deadline of 24 hours to repay the money, Udo tries to talk to Marlies one last time, but she has come home drunk from a company party and puts him off. The next day, Marlies found in the swimming pool that her checkbook and ID were missing. She reports the theft to the police. Udo meanwhile pays Nolle back his debts, but it's not about the money. He wants to land a big coup with the silent Udo and rob a bank. Again he blackmails Udo with telling everything to Marlies. Udo now returns to Marlies' home, confesses to having stolen the money and being in prison earlier. Then Udo leaves and Marlies reacts desperately. She reports everything to the police and a manhunt for Udo is initiated. The investigators are also looking for Nolle, as they can now establish the connection to the transport of the stolen goods: Nolle must have brought Udo to transport the stolen electrical appliances.

Udo's truck is spotted on the Baltic Sea. Marlies goes there with the investigators and would like to undo everything. With Udo's help, Nolle wants to rob a bank on the Baltic Sea. However, Udo does not drive to the bank at the crucial moment, but wants to hand over Nolle to the nearest police station. At that moment, the truck is parked by the investigators. Nolle is arrested. Udo also has to accompany the investigators after he and Marlies have stood in silence for a while.
