action

The first exhibition by the painter Alfred Seebacher is due to open shortly when five of his pictures are stolen. In addition to four of his own, there is also a loan. Alfred was only noticed by the art world at an advanced age. For a long time he exchanged his pictures for natural produce and sometimes received bread and sometimes a pair of shoes for his works. Now these have increased significantly in price and are being traded for a four-figure sum - the stolen pictures alone have a total value of around 30,000 marks. This development bitter Alfred, especially since he made the "barter sales" at the instigation of his father Alfons. Even if the barter deals were inevitable because the family had no money, the father and son later fell out. Alfons now lives in the old people's home. His friends Friedrich Marquart and Otto Knebel, who don't know anything about fatherhood, invite Alfons to visit his namesake's exhibition. Only then do they both find out that Alfons is Alfred's father.

In the meantime, Alfred has sought out various lenders in order to buy back his works, which were then sold below price. The lenders, including doctor Hausdörfer, Kammersängerin Bomsberg and the landlord of the restaurant Zur Linde , refuse this. Alfons wants to make up for a reconciliation with his son and his actions back then in his old days. With Friedrich and Otto, he meticulously plans to break into the museum, where they want to steal the paintings that were then sold below value. When they break, however, they have to realize that they have planned too long: the exhibition has already been dismantled. Another break-in planned by Friedrich and Otto also goes wrong, the real Seebacher was discovered by doctor Dr. Hausdörfer already stolen by another thief.

The investigators, Captain Peter Fuchs and Lieutenant Thomas Grawe, received the tip that the museum director Sauerbrei was being blackmailed and therefore possibly involved in the break-ins. Since the perpetrator is targeting the early works of Seebacher, the investigators lie in wait for him at the Zur Linde pub . You can place the director Sauerbrei there, but the painting has already been stolen by Alfons. During the interrogation, Sauerbrei admits to having stolen the paintings for a blackmailer. This had observed how Sauerbrei had run into a pensioner and committed a hit-and-run. With the knowledge he blackmailed him. However, the individual paintings have disappeared, just as Alfons cannot be found. The two missing paintings can be found behind the closet in his old people's home room. To be on the safe side, Peter Fuchs and Thomas Grawe go to Kammersängerin Bomsberg, who has the last loan from the exhibition. Father and son Seebacher appeared here. When Alfons tries to steal the painting, hanging a packet of groceries on the nail, Alfred secretly prevents the theft and hangs the picture back in its place. The investigators finally appear and arrest father and son - the two men reconcile. When questioning the trio of pensioners and the painter, Thomas Grawe has to resist a grin. A little later you can see all four united in freedom.
