action

Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner receives an unusual assignment from Colonel Wernicke: He is to hold a seminar on the subject of investigating and checking suspects in front of a class at the officers' school . Hübner is nervous, as he once sat in the same room as a schoolboy. He begins to exemplarily open a case from his work as an investigator.

It was on a Sunday in a small town in the Harz Mountains: seaman Wolfgang Hessel arrives one day earlier than expected in the town where he wants to work in the future. He enrolls in the hotel that has been run by Irmgard Kraßmann for three years. Because his room won't be free until the next day, he shares a room with actor Eberhard Neubert the first night. Hessel hands over his valuables - a savings account , an African plastic and 15,500 marks in cash - to Irmgard, who locks the money in the hotel safe. She puts the plastic in a shoebox, which she pads with newspapers lying around. The night goes boozy as Hessel spends one lap after the other for the hotel guests. The safe is open the next morning. Hessel's valuables and the hotel's three daily earnings are missing.

Jürgen Hübner was then appointed solely as an investigator. The on-site investigations revealed that the safe was opened with an associated key, i.e. neither a duplicate key nor any other type of tool was used. Hübner wants Irmgard to show her the second key to the safe, but she admits that she lost it a year ago. In the stress of work, she forgot the matter at some point. Hübner now asks Irmgard's right-hand man, Inge Ahlert, who did not notice anything during the night. Irmgard's husband Bernhard had gone to bed early because he had to get up early the next day in order to be able to start his work in a lime works in time. Wolfgang Hessel says that he briefly saw Neubert that evening, who went to sleep earlier. He saw Irmgard with a strange man. The man turns out to be Heinz Langwitz. Two years ago he worked in Irmgard's hotel and had a relationship with her. He ended the relationship and looked for work in a new hotel. He says that Irmgard wanted to talk to him now, but that Bernhard interrupted them. Bernhard, a trained pub owner, used to run the hotel's restaurant, but had been forced out of the business by his own wife. At the time she spread that he was an alcoholic. However, due to her reputation, a divorce was never an option. Irmgard later met Heinz and told him that she wanted to take over a large hotel. She wanted to hire him as head chef, but Heinz refused. He tells her that he will get married in the summer; his girlfriend is expecting a child.

The mood in the hotel is irritable and Inge Ahlert finally throws everything down with Hessel's breakfast service and leaves. She has a large bag with her. Hessel follows her to the train station, where Inge has the bag put in a locker. The police intervene and Inge is questioned by Jürgen Huebner. There is a safe key, Hessel's passbook and the plastic in the bag. However, there is no cash. Inge testifies that she couldn't sleep that night and got up around three o'clock. At night she saw Heinz Langwitz who had left the house, but it could also have been Eberhard Neubert. She found the bag in the laundry room and wanted to send it back to the owner to undo everything that happened.

Jürgen Huebner wanted to have Inge arrested when he noticed the newspapers with which Irmgard had once packed the sculpture. An advertisement was torn from one side. It is an advertisement for an inn. The down payment should be 20,000 marks. Jürgen Hübner learns that the inn has already been sold - to Bernhard Kraßmann, who paid exactly 15,500 marks in cash for it. During questioning, he admits the theft. He wanted revenge on his wife and went too far. He had never given up his dream of working as a restaurateur again.

Jürgen Huebner ended the seminar in front of the officer students, who had repeatedly come up with their own solutions during his remarks. He is satisfied and promises Colonel Wernicke to stop for another hour if necessary.
