action
Miss Dr. Corda-Frobenius has successfully completed a law degree with a lot of diligence and thanks to the support of her significantly older sister. Now she is one of the first of her sex to become a public prosecutor in her governmental restrictions. So far, however, the macho male colleagues have hardly given her the opportunity to prove her legal skills in significant cases. One day she confronts a case with traumatic memories of her own past. She was once in a relationship with a married man. When both were involved in a traffic accident and he got hit, she fled from the scene in a panic. Today, eight years later, Dr. Corda defended the prosecution against a man accused of murdering his wife. This man, an innkeeper by the name of Hans Neidhard, bears a striking resemblance to Corda's childhood sweetheart. Miss Dr. Corda met the defendant, the innkeeper Hans Neidhard, on an excursion. It hit her like lightning, the resemblance to the ex and his whole being enchanted the lawyer immediately.
Now Dr. Corsa faced a serious dilemma. The lawyer, who always insists on a clean service concept, is torn between duty and inclination. Should she want to put the beloved man in jail or should she withdraw from the pending trial. The only legal silver bullet between these two options appears to be Dr. Corda, advising the court that the alleged murder could have involved negligent manslaughter. The trial results in almost complete circumstantial evidence, which, however, rules out an intention to murder. Neidhard no longer has to go to prison, he just has to serve a moderate prison sentence. Nevertheless, Hans Neidhard leaves the process bitter, he feels deeply hurt that Dr. Corda, as a person he had come so close to before, did not believe in his innocence at the moment of greatest need. When Neidhard's innocence turns out after the trial is over, the break is final. Miss Dr. Corda is left alone when Neidhard, released from prison, turns to a new love, the very young Steffi.
