action

Commissioner Bruno Ehrlicher receives a mysterious phone call. A stranger announces an attack, but speaks so indistinctly that Ehrlicher does not take it seriously. The next day, Ehrlicher's office received another call and now specifically threatens the branch of a bank. This will be cleared and secured immediately.

While the police are busy, another bank is robbed by two perpetrators. As soon as the investigators are there, another attack follows. Each time the perpetrator then calls the police and enjoys his success. The two crooks Wolf and Siggi are so sure of their cause that they also rob a third bank. This time, however, one of the employees packs a paint cartridge for them, which explodes in the car while they are on the run and colors both of them with red powder. They stop the car and since the police are already on their heels, Siggi continues to flee on foot. He will be caught soon after. Wolf, on the other hand, takes a ten-year-old boy hostage so that he can continue unmolested. He then burns the car and the spoiled spoil in a gravel pit.

The interrogation of Siggi Müller brings little evidence of the second perpetrator. However, its whereabouts can be found out with the help of the roadblocks. Wolf and the boy holed up in an old construction trailer. Ehrlicher goes to the site trailer unarmed as a mediator and speaks to the kidnapper. He makes it clear to him that he is convinced that there is a client and that Wolf should have served his purpose for this now and that he will not help him. So his situation would be hopeless. But Wolf doesn't give up so easily and the suspected third man actually does. He calls for a ransom and free withdrawal for Siggi and Wolf. Honestly, contrary to the conviction of his superior, goes into the demands.

Ehrlicher is convinced that this whole action is also directed against him, since the caller always wanted to speak to him personally. Somebody wants to "show him off" and prove to him that he is the clever one. While researching the origin of the explosives that Siggi and Wolf had used, they came across Leo Klein. He had previously worked with Ehrlicher until he was guilty of a few arbitrary acts and Ehrlicher had to investigate him. After his dishonorable discharge from the police force, he worked, among other things, as a security guard in an explosives factory.

After Siggi and Wolf received the money they asked for and the getaway car, they set the boy free. Your client has threatened to detonate a bomb if the two of them cannot pull away unmolested. Ehrlicher suspects that he wants to lure the two of them to the bomb and then detonate them and thus silence his two confidants. With Ehrlicher's talent for combination, it is possible to find the destination and to defuse the bomb. As expected, Siggi and Wolf also arrive and are now arrested.

Ehrlicher drives to Leo Klein to arrest him too. When the latter notices that he is exposed, he explains: “I have a problem, honest one. I can't lose. ”Without further ado, he gets into his car, which then explodes.
