action

Deep winter in a village on the edge of the forest: Lieutenant Klaus Tetzlaw, the local ABV , has to go to training the next day with his German shepherd Olf. In the dog school, Olf is trained even more intensively for his use as a police dog. Klaus' son Bernd is particularly fond of the dog, so that he even wanted to prevent Olf from leaving by kidnapping him for only a short time. Klaus and Olf return from further training and father and children playfully train tracking dogs shortly before Christmas. Kerstin Tetzlaw hides Santa Claus boots in the forest and Olf picks up her trail so that Klaus and the children are led by the dog to the shoes. In the evening Klaus wants to relax when a resident of the village comes to him. Six-year-old Nicole Cofalla has disappeared. As a night of severe frost is expected, you should search quickly. Klaus goes to look for the child with Olf and Nicole's father. The trail leads into the forest, but is lost.

A large number of police arrives in the village. Search dogs are flown in to comb through the forest. The property of the Cofallas is also searched, but without any result. A police psychologist carefully questions Nicole's little brother Maikel, who tells the man that Nicole cried that morning. She only got one rod for Santa Claus because she was not well behaved. So she went into the forest to look for Santa Claus. In fact, Nicole's parents only gave Nicole a rod and no sweets because she sometimes behaves badly towards her little brother. The psychologist estimates Nicole so that she would not hide in caves or bushes, but always make sure to have the starry sky above her. With a drawing by Nicole, on which a house can be seen in a forest meadow, the dog team led by Klaus and Olf finally finds Nicole in a forest meadow. She had hid in a hay rack for wild animals from the frost.

Olf has made the effort and suffers colic . The vet treats him so that Klaus goes on patrol alone that evening. He surprises two thieves who are clearing a warehouse. One of the burglars can knock Klaus down while the other escapes. Despite his mother's prohibition, Bernd took another look at Olf and wants to go to the lively animal in the kennel. In the process, Olf runs away and takes in the scent. He reaches Klaus when he is lying dazed on the floor and confronts the second intruder. He stabs Olf, but the dog can keep the man in check until Klaus comes to. The burglar is known to Klaus. After a short time, his accomplice can also be arrested. Olf is operated on by the vet and can soon return to the Tetzlaw family. However, due to his illness, he will never be able to do police work again. To Bernd's great joy, Klaus agrees to keep the German shepherd Olf as a family dog.
