action

Eleven-year-old Ina Dörfler is breaking glass cases in front of a jewelry store for no apparent reason. In front of the police officers who were summoned, she only said that she would tell her reasons in front of her mother. The police escort them home, where Ms. Dörfler's new friend receives Ina. She evades him because he is not her real father. Ms. Dörfler is appalled by the daughter's behavior, but cannot give the police any reason. She hides her eyes behind large sunglasses and claims to be sensitive to light due to an eye infection. In reality, she is regularly beaten by her friend Fred Klünter, a musician. Ina wanted to make the police aware of this, but her plan went wrong.

When her mother was brutally abused again that evening, Ina turned to her father the next day. However, he sees no way to intervene, even when Ina says that he too was beaten by him. Ina now goes to Petra Krull, her mother's cousin. Petra teaches Japanese martial arts and is an aerobics trainer. The well-trained woman reacted with concern when Ina told her about Fred Klünter's behavior. Ina asks Petra to do something.

Petra visits the bar with her friends Hanna and Thekla, where Klünter regularly plays the piano. She goes to her cousin's alone and makes sure that Ina has told the truth. Ms. Dörfler's body is actually covered with bruises. Thekla Doll is flirting with Fred - much to the displeasure of waitress Lisa Schreck, who is married to waiter Franz, but still has a relationship with Fred. After the pub closes, Thekla disappears with Fred in a park where he tries to seduce her. Petra and Hanna join them and beat Fred up. They leave groaning Fred in the park and on their way back meet Ina, who has seen everything and is satisfied. Petra sends Ina home.

The next day, Fred is found dead in the park. Superintendent Jürgen Huebner takes over the investigation. The autopsy makes it clear that Fred was hit so hard with a varnished, wooden object that he died as a result. However, such an item could not be found in the vicinity of the crime scene. Ina reports to the police and claims that Petra, Hanna and Thekla killed Fred. The three women are questioned. They say that they gave Klünter a lesson. He was still alive when she left.

Mr. Egger, the owner of the bar where Fred always played, appears at the police station and asks whether there was a bunch of keys among Fred's things. In addition to the keys to a small safe, there were also keys to the bar itself. Egger worries that the keys could have gotten into the wrong hands. The investigators monitor the property and a little later are able to catch Ms. Dörfler, who uses the keys to gain entry to the bar and who also discovered and emptied Fred's small safe. She claims that her daughter found the keys in the mailbox. Only Ina admits that she went back to Fred that night. She took the keys away from him because she didn't want him to ever enter her house again. At this point he was still alive.

The murder weapon is found in the park: it is a wooden walking aid that Ina always carried with her in the evening to defend herself. She had lost it when the keys were stolen. Jürgen Hübner is meanwhile surprised that Chief Detective Pinkert from the economic department is also interested in the case. It is difficult for the investigators to find out what Pinkert’s investigation is about. He's handling a case of bogus deals through mailbox companies. Mr. Egger also seems to be involved in this business, possibly also waiters Franz Schreck and Fred Klünter. Waiter Schreck, in turn, reports his wife Lisa as missing. She received treatment for suicide for a long time and has not come home overnight. A little later, the investigators find Lisa in her house on the outskirts. She took Franz, who she suspected the murderer of her lover Fred, in her power and drugged him with alcohol and sleeping pills. She wants to go out of life with him and has turned on the gas. She threatens the investigators who surrounded the house with a lighter. They manage to cut off the gas supply to the house and later overpower Lisa. She and her husband come to the hospital.

Jürgen Huebner secretly copies Pinkert's files on the fraud. Through them the investigators become aware of Wirt Egger as a possible perpetrator. They manage to arrest Egger on the German-Czech border and thus forestall Pinkert. Egger has various documents that actually belonged to Fred, including documents for a numbered account at the State Bank in Pilsen. During the interrogation, Egger admits that Fred Klünter was the courier for him and Franz Schreck in the fraud matter. Both suspected that Fred was cheating on them and followed him into the park that night. After the women beat him up, Franz Schreck was supposed to take the bank documents from him. Franz used Fred's defenselessness to vent his frustration over the affair with his wife. When he found Ina's crutch on the park floor, he hit him with her until he was dead.
