action

Irmgard Meyer, an accountant in a wholesale store for electrical household appliances, is returning from vacation. The 43rd birthday of driver Rolf Gürtner is just being celebrated when warehouse manager Rottmann announces an inventory for the next day . The nervous Irmgard immediately has to take her medicine again. She leaves the party sooner and arrives earlier the next morning to tackle the work that has arisen during her vacation. She discovers that the camp has been broken into. First Lieutenant Peter Fuchs and Sergeant Lutz Subras take over the investigation.

The break-in looks bogus and Lutz Subras quickly suspects that the perpetrator comes from the Rottmann brigade and that the break-in is supposed to cover up the embezzlement of goods. When the investigators requested the camp file the next day, it was missing. Rottmann suspects that Irmgard took her home for checks. Irmgard, in turn, does not show up for work. A little later, the colleagues learn that she was hospitalized with a heart attack and died there. Irmgard's aunt, Frau Brinkmann, is fetched and takes over the estate administration. In a boat shed on Irmgard's waterfront property there are numerous goods from the electrical warehouse. In the meantime, a deficit of 120,000 marks was determined there during the inventory.

On Irmgard's desk, in addition to the camp file and notes, there was also a typewritten love letter to Irmgard. In it, Irmgard's lover withdraws because of the great age difference. Much older than Irmgard is in the Rottmann brigade, the co-driver Schreiber is much younger. Both are questioned by the investigators, but did not write the letter. However, Schreiber reported a detail to the investigators: A few months ago, Irmgard had introduced an innovation that only brought advantages for the company: On the way back from his tour, Gürtner was able to drive past two manufacturers and collect goods directly. An empty haul was eliminated and money was saved. Gürtner then put the goods in an aisle on the warehouse premises after work. Rottmann defends the procedure in which no goods could disappear due to double checking.

In a shop, the investigators discover goods that have been stolen from the warehouse. Like other goods that have been delivered for four months, they come from the Heinrich Quantity Andenkenvertrieb company, according to the invoice. The investigators question the company manager Clara Menge, who unmasked the invoice signed by partner Harald Röhl as a fake. Investigators find out that the bill and the love letter were written on the same typewriter. The group of suspects comes to a head with Gürtner and Röhl, especially since Irmgard's notes listed when Gürtner delivered the goods to the warehouse at night. She also suspected him. In fact, Gürtner and Röhl are now trying to get the goods temporarily stored at the company in a hurry to Irmgard's house. There they are found by the police.

Gürtner admits that he picked up the goods from the manufacturing company and immediately diverted some of them. In contrast to the delivery notes, he took the shortfalls from the warehouse himself and placed them there. Nobody knew that he had a duplicate key for the warehouse door that Röhl had made. Gürtner introduced Irmgard to the much younger Röhl six months ago. It blossomed in time, which was not hidden from the colleagues. In addition to Röhl's charm, she was also impressed by his motorboat, in which he drove her and Gürtner around at the first meeting. Gürtner now also wanted a motorboat and Röhl offered him to take part in the movement of goods in order to earn the necessary money. When questioned in front of Peter Fuchs, Röhl claims that he has nothing to do with anything. He blames Gürtner, Irmgard and, in the end, even the old Clara crowd for the break-in and the movement of goods. He did not write the letter and the signature on the invoice was forged. He also doesn't have a typewriter, claims Röhl, until Peter Fuchs suddenly shows him the typewriter found in his house - with which the letter and invoice were written.

production

Black Charge was filmed from July 21 to August 28, 1975 under the working titles Tiefenprüfung and Fish from the Amazon in Berlin and the surrounding area. The costumes of the film created Margot Berndt , the Filmbauten derived from Britta Bastian . The film had its television premiere on April 25, 1976 in the first program of East German television. The audience participation was 57.6 percent.

It was the 38th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . First Lieutenant Peter Fuchs investigated in his 23rd case and Sergeant Lutz Subras in his 21st case. The criticism stated that Giso Weißbach created the figure of Röhl as a "single-layer antipathy carrier" who is "beautiful but nasty". The police call is one of those with "tangible offenses, behind which the intention of individual enrichment stands and which are committed" to the detriment of socialist property. "

Subras marked the area in which the truck was moved on an older city map of Munich, i.e. outside the GDR.
