action

While the delicatessen company Wever is having a small party in the evening, Ms. Böhmer rings the doorbell and wants to buy some groceries outside of shop closing times. He accompanies his neighbor to the shop, assists her with the selection and drives her home. Although she asks him to stay a little longer, he refuses and leaves. But he forgot her coffee in the car and puts it in front of the door when it doesn't open.

The next morning, on their way back from the church, the Wever couple saw the police presence in front of Mrs. Boehmer's house. When they arrive there, Inspector Haferkamp tells them that Ms. Böhmer was killed in her bedroom. Wever puts yesterday's service for the killed on record and comes under suspicion of murder because his coffee was suddenly not in front of the door, but in the kitchen. Since the evidence is insufficient, Haferkamp visits the Wever family with Kreutzer. Son Andreas seems very tense and nervous.

Haferkamp is now trying to find out more about Wever in his shop and interrogates his employees. The employee Birgit Lampertz tells the inspector about an alleged intimate scene between Wever and Mrs. Böhmer in his shop office. The investigator confronts him with it. Wever, who thinks Birgit is an unreliable saleswoman, asks her to stop making allegations. Little does he know that she and his son are a couple.

In the meantime, Haferkamp has found out that Birgit's mother is the cleaning lady for the dead. He discovers that one of the keys to their house has disappeared and suspects Birgit to have it. He also deduces from foreign traces in the bed of the dead that Birgit probably slept with someone there. When he asked Andreas at the wholesale market in the presence of Wever, he was silent. On the way back to the shop, he confesses to his father the relationship with Birgit and the deed. He killed Frau Böhmer when she wanted to report the relationship to his father. Wever initially wants to expel his son, but when he tries to confess to Haferkamp, ​​he rethinks. He obliges his son to remain silent and forbids him to continue dealing with Birgit.

Wever plans to move Birgit out of the way to cover up the matter. Birgit and Andreas plan to escape. She wants to extort the money from Wever. He pretends to respond, to have a reason to lure her into a trap. Wever, shadowed by Kreutzer, gets a garbage can to make the body disappear on the dump. After the shop closes, he meets Birgit in the warehouse and tries to kill her with a crowbar . Meanwhile, Andreas makes his way to the meeting point in the train station that he has arranged to meet her. Haferkamp follows him there. Meanwhile, Kreutzer blocks off the area around the market while Birgit tries to avoid the blows of her boss. At the last minute, Haferkamp and Andreas can return to the store by taxi, rescue Birgit and arrest Wever.
