action

Karin Röder works as a saleswoman in a train station flower shop. The divorced woman has a young son named Dieter and lives in a relationship with watchmaker Sebastian Engel. Her boss, Mr. Wels, an art lover, also admires her. One day Karin's ex-husband Golo Meßmer appears at her place. He wants to win her back, but she only lets him stay with her for one night. She quickly realizes that Golo, addicted to assertiveness, only wants to dispose of her in order to receive self-confirmation. Within a very short time he also has lucrative work and tried to win Karin over with gifts. However, she does not get involved in a new relationship.

The castle museum in Altenstein was broken into. Apparently the perpetrator had himself locked up overnight and then smashed a display case with particularly valuable objects. It lacks the chronicle, a mantel clock and various valuable Kändler -Porzellanfiguren. The total damage amounts to around 174,000 marks. The staff remember a man who went to the museum twice shortly before the break-in, was very interested in the exhibits and finally bought a copy of each postcard on display in the museum. He had introduced himself to a museum employee as a watchmaker. Since the man telephoned from the museum, the investigators Oberleutnant Peter Fuchs and Sergeant Lutz Subras can narrow down the town in which the watchmaker works. Finally they find the man they are looking for in Sebastian. They ask him where he was on the day of the incident and he reports that he has visited the Altensteiner Museum. The investigators point to the break-in, in which a mantel clock was stolen. When the investigators leave, Sebastian rushes home and examines a clock - the stolen mantel clock, as the investigators shadowing him discover. The serial number has been filed down from the case, but can be made visible again. Sebastian claims to have bought the watch the day before from a Werner Hegenbarth for 600 marks. Hegenbarth had stated that the watch came from an estate. Hegenbarth is a teacher and stated during the questioning that he lost his ID during a tour of the museum with one of his classes. Even when they are compared, Sebastian does not recognize the real Hegenbarth.

The investigators examine Karin Röder's life and learn from her ex-husband, who is known to them as a criminal. Sebastian recognizes Golo as Mr. Hegenbarth on a photo shown by Lutz Subras. A short time later, Sebastian receives a call from Karin, who found the stolen city chronicle in Golo's suitcase. Sebastian informs the police, who arrest Golo shortly after arriving at Karin's apartment. It turns out that Sebastian had only bought the mantel clock from Golo, but mediated the sale of the KÄNDER figures to Mr. Wels, an art lover. He paid 40,000 marks for the figures, with Sebastian handing over the money in an envelope. Golo accuses Sebastian of pushing him to robbery because he had received several letters from Sebastian with money and instructions on the robbery in the museum. Sebastian, however, does not know anything about these letters and Wels denies having bought the figures.

Golo picked up one of the letters. Printed text can be made visible on the cover. The text is about complained roses. It turns out that shortly before the crime, Karin wanted to claim a wrong delivery of roses. Her boss Wels wrote the corresponding letter, the writing being pressed through to the envelope to Golo underneath. Karin hands the original letter over to the investigators. The figures can finally be secured in a locker in the train station - the key was found on Wels' key ring, which Lutz Subras received from Wels through a trick. Wels is arrested like Golo before.
