action

The young Michael Wormser escaped from a youth work yard with his 16-year-old friend Hans Wökke . Michael is caught after a week and interviewed by Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner and Lieutenant Vera Arndt. He reports that Hans met a man about 30 years old at Mitropa and went away with him.

The strange man introduced himself to Hans as "Freddy", he in turn calls Hans "Moses". He shows him a surefire coup: the night safe of a bank is emptied every day. The drivers of the money car are extremely lax with the safety precautions. A thief had around 12 seconds to steal the loaded money bags. Hans is quick enough to pick up a sack and then flee via an ingenious system that Freddy prepares. On the night of the crime, however, things go wrong. Hans manages to steal a sack of money, but the escape route is blocked because a employed ladder has been removed by a resident of the block. Hans is finally caught. However, while the drivers of the money car were running after Hans, the car was driven away. Jürgen Hübner and Lieutenant Vera Arndt assume that Hans's friend tricked Hans and drove the car away with two money bags. Hans was supposed to be a pawn in the coup.

Hans is silent. Michael can give the investigators vague information about Freddy, but this is not enough for another manhunt. A little later the money transporter is found. He has slight traces of an accident. The money bags, on the other hand, were not completely emptied and were left locked with a skipper's knot. The investigators believe that the perpetrator comes from the shipping sector. With a trick they let Hans go, who goes into the demolished apartment where he and Freddy planned the theft. But Freddy is not there. The next morning, Vera Arndt picks up Hans from the apartment. The questioning of the residents does not bring anything new either, but at least Fraulein Schimke can confirm that she saw Hans waiting in a doorway on the way to work that morning.

In the end, the investigators decide to use Hans as a key witness to the case. He not only gives them a description of the perpetrator, but also traces Freddy's face from memory. A little later, an incident occurs at a sailing party: a professional photographer also takes pictures of Freddy and his companion. Freddy, in turn, becomes aggressive and destroys the photographer's film. When he wants to call the police, Freddy pushes a wad of money into his hand. These bills turn out to be part of the robbery loot.

The last picture of the photographer can be made visible via the mechanism of the camera. Freddy cannot be recognized, but his companion: Miss Schimke. When asked again, she says she has known Freddy for a few months. She hands the investigators various postcards that Freddy has sent her. Jürgen Hübner and Vera Arndt can use the maps to reconstruct a transport route taken by the seaman Freddy. You leave different ships and finally find something. While Hans waits in the car, the investigators, as supposed statisticians, first question the captain. When they see from photos that they are on the right track, they then want to question Freddy, who is actually called Hans-Ulrich Pepping, but he has already fled. However, Hans has clung to his heels. Freddy flees to a bus, which Hans also gets on. He pretends that the robbery of the money bag worked and is surprised that Freddy did not come to the agreed meeting point. Hans can repeatedly alert strangers unnoticed, so that the investigators can stay on his trail and finally arrest Freddy.

However, there is no money in Freddy's duffel bag. During the interrogation, Freddy testifies that he did not drive the car away. The investigators also have doubts. Only a second look at the photographer's log helps them: Freddy had reached into the handbag of his companion to pay off the photographer. In fact, the stolen money can be found in Fraulein Schimke's apartment. She says that she wanted revenge on Freddy. He only used her and her apartment for the robbery plan. When he finished his plan, he dropped it.
