action

Sven Seidel, son of the head of the Post and Telecommunications Office Potsdam, Wolfgang Seidel, is artistically gifted. In his free time he models figures from clay and would like to study at the art college, but his father gets Sven to work for the postal service. Even his grandfather worked at the post office, so Sven should not least uphold a family tradition. However, he is hardly interested in work, is often late and spends most of the time watching the postal worker Monika, with whom he has fallen in love. He's too boring for her and so she and the convicted driver Ebert become a couple. Sven only finds a confidante in Gerhard Frohberger, the head of the small post office in Grünstedt. Frohberger supports Sven's artistic ambitions, gives him a kiln for the clay figures and suggests that Sven start a ceramic circle in the company.

One day the item worth 10,000 marks was missing from a mail from Neuendorf. She was properly dispatched, but never arrived in Grünstedt. The investigators, led by Captain Peter Fuchs, reconstruct the unloading process and it becomes clear that the consignment stood on the loading ramp for several minutes without being noticed. Later both Sven and his colleague Hugo Zander left the room once while the program from Neuendorf was being processed. The post office seal is found in the garbage, the strings of which have been properly cut once. Investigators are puzzled.

Sven confesses to his mother Elke that he took the little money bag because he really wanted to buy a kiln for the clay figures. Unexpectedly, he was visiting Frohberger with friends on the day of the theft. He hid the money sack under his anorak , which he had to hand in at the apartment. Sven hid the sack of money behind the pipe lining on Frohberger's toilet, where it slipped down and can now only be retrieved by unscrewing the pipe lining. Frohberger doesn't know that the money is in his apartment. It was pure coincidence that he gave Sven his own kiln shortly after the theft. Sven plans to secretly get the money bag out of its hiding place when he fetches the kiln from Frohberger's apartment, but the latter does not let him into the bathroom. Since Frohberger lives in an apartment belonging to the post office building, all floors are secured several times. Unlike with Frohberger's permission, you can't get to his apartment door. Now Wolfgang Seidel is inaugurated in Sven's act. He is horrified because he also sees his good name in danger. He promises Sven to fix everything.

Elke Seidel works at PGH construction and has a scaffolding erected on the post office building without authorization. Wolfgang is supposed to use the scaffolding to get into Frohberger's apartment through an outside window and get the money bag from the bathroom. But things turn out differently: the scaffolding is in place and Frohberger is spontaneously called to an outside appointment. Sven breaks into Frohberger's apartment after work and unscrews the panel in the bathroom. He is almost finished when Frohberger comes home early, drunk. Sven escapes through the open window, but Frohberger can grab him on the scaffolding. In a scuffle, Frohberger falls several floors down and remains motionless. A postal worker calls the ambulance. Sven fears having killed Frohberger, but Wolfgang receives a call that Frohberger survived seriously injured. Later it becomes clear that he cannot remember anything. Wolfgang declares the money sack as a misdirection of the post, so that the money appears in the regular mail cycle after a short time. Sven has strong remorse, but his parents belittle it. In the end nothing happened.

One day Wolfgang finds out that Frohberger has succumbed to his injuries. Sven finally wants to face the police, but Wolfgang forbids him to destroy the family's life with this action. Sven depicted Frohberger's fall in numerous clay figures. He takes the figures and flees. His path ends on the scaffolding at the post office. He lines up the figures in front of him and throws them one by one into the depths. A resident alerted the police, who had long suspected Sven to be a perpetrator. His shoe marks were found on the scaffolding and fingerprints in Frohberger's apartment. A forgotten clay figure in Sven's room also showed a man who makes a sack of money disappear into his coat. Now the house is surrounded and police officers secretly penetrate Frohberger's apartment. Standing on the scaffolding, Sven confesses his guilt and accuses his father of covering up the crime for him. He wants to jump, but is held and arrested by the police. The police car drives away with him. Wolfgang and Elke Seidel are left alone.
