action

Immediately after a police raid on Hotel Neptun, which is known as a cheap dump and where illegal refugees were suspected, the hotel operator is found dead. Not only the detective inspectors Stubbe and Zimmermann appear at the scene, but also their former intern Heike Fuchs, who now has her first day at work as a police officer as a police officer. While Stubbe and Zimmermann interviewed the hotel's guests, 16-year-old Noah contacted Caroline Stubbe. The young man had run in front of her the day before and she had given him his business card. She would like to help him, but initially does not know that he lives as an illegal refugee in Neptune, where her husband is currently investigating. Since she feels sorry for the boy, she tries to have his asylum procedure reopened through a lawyer.

It seems strange to Stubbe that the raid fizzled out. He suspects a mole in the ranks of the police, because no results were obtained from other controls either. He openly discusses this allegation of corruption with the responsible district manager, who has also noticed that one of his colleagues seems to be living beyond his means. Zimmermann and Stubbe observe the suspicious policeman, and it turns out that his girlfriend won a fairly large amount in the lottery some time ago and the suspicion of corruption is thus eliminated.

While the detectives still have no hot lead to the Neptune murderer, Heike Fuchs has to accompany her new colleague Manfred Wilke on the patrol. That extends late into the night because Wilke allegedly got the hint about a drug deal from an informant. This seems strange to Fuchs. Little does she know that her colleague is not only responsible for a corrupt police officer, but also for the death of the man in the Neptune Hotel. A "little" drug dealer had secured the tapes of the surveillance camera and is blackmailing Wilke with them. He disguises the handover of the cassette to Fuchs as a special mission. The plan seems to work because the informant is shot. Since both Wilke and Fuchs had used the pistol, Wilke skillfully blames his young colleague by swapping their pistols. This takes “her” fatal shot to heart so much that she tries to take her own life. It is thanks to Stubbe's care that she fails to do this.

Meanwhile, Wilke is looking for Noah, who not only witnessed the nightly incident but also skillfully appropriated the surveillance tapes. When Wilke locates him, he arrests him, which Stubbe's family witnesses. Since Noah did not take his backpack with him, Stubbe finds the surveillance tapes. While he looks at it with Zimmermann and clearly identifies Wilke as he is collecting his "hush money" from the Neptun owner, which then escalates, Caroline Stubbe receives a call from Noah, who asks her to bring him the backpack. Little does she suspect that she is putting herself in great danger when she drives to the specified meeting point with her backpack (without the straps). Since Kriminalist Stubbe does not hide this, he immediately follows her with Zimmermann, brings Caro to safety and arrests Wilke. This portrays the incident at the Hotel Neptun as an accident and justifies its corruptibility because it would have lost its ideals of police work. But Stubbe sees through him as a calculating killer, as he had also shot the blackmailer very deliberately. Not only is Heike Fuchs rehabilitated, but Noah, as an important witness in a murder case, can also be saved from deportation for the time being.
