action

Jens Briener is an actor who never got very far. He lacks talent and discipline, so he appears unprepared at the provincial theater for a rehearsal of Goethe's Faust and cannot read the text. At the same time, he tends to be overconfident and believes that he simply always deals with amateurs. His family - wife Marlies and son Marcus - have moved three times in the last six years. When Jens now believes he can make a breakthrough in Berlin, Marlies refuses to move from the provinces. Marcus is now required to attend school and Marlies wants to avoid constant retraining. She announces Jens to divorce him when he moves again.

A year later, Jens lives in Berlin. Marlies and Marcus stayed in the small town; Marlies divorced Jens and Marcus has hardly any contact with his father. Jens earns his money in part-time jobs, including newspaper delivery, warehouse clerk and horse trainer. The television casting office does not give him any engagement as his bad reputation preceded him. When he visits there again without success, he secretly takes a script with him. With the book under his arm, he meets Frau von Waldow, who has come from a trip and asks him to carry the suitcase into her apartment. He spontaneously pretends to be a production designer and is looking for apartments to shoot. He looks at all the rooms. When he left, Frau von Waldow discovered that valuable family jewelry was missing. She reports the theft and Captain Peter Fuchs, Lieutenant Thomas Grawe and First Lieutenant Lutz Zimmermann take over the investigation. In a second case, Jens steals cash worth 5,000 marks and a savings book with 10,000 marks.

He learns from his friend Werner Wust - section head of the riding arena where Jens works as a teacher - that Mr. Nossek is looking for a riding horse for his daughter. In addition, the head of a stud tells him that the state circus wants to sell some of its horses. Jens breaks into the office of a stud and steals several pedigree certificates for pedigree horses. He steals a wagon and finally purchases a circus horse for 5,000 marks as a supposed professor. With proof of parentage, he hands the horse over to Nossek, who pays 16,000 marks for the supposed pedigree horse. Jens uses the money to buy a car.

Nossek's daughter is enthusiastic about the horse and wants to register it for a tournament after a short time. Since the proof of parentage must also be submitted for this and the fraud would have become so obvious, Jens poisoned the horse. The investigators can trace the various assumed identities back to Jens himself. However, Lieutenant Grawe does not find him in his apartment and Jens learns from a resident that a man has been looking for him. He immediately packs his things. Suddenly his son is at the door, who ran away from home, because Jens always reported in his letters about his exciting and successful life as an actor. Jens flees with Marcus in his car and is seen by Nossek. The manhunt is initiated after investigators have found more stolen pedigree certificates in Jens' apartment. As a result of a risky overtaking maneuver while fleeing from the police, Jens' car overturned. Jens saves himself and the injured Marcus from the accident vehicle before it explodes. Captain Fuchs and Lieutenant Grawe receive the two of them.
