action

Beatrice Koch leaves Mona Stallner's ballet school, where she has lived for half a year. She wants to go to Kassel and is referred to Horst Matthes, an insurance agent on a business trip, from the car pool agency. When he gets intrusive on the way, however, she lets herself be dropped off at a motorway service area and gets into a black BMW that is supposedly being driven by her boyfriend.

The next morning, a truck driver found Beatrice Koch's body at a motorway rest stop. Since the ridesharing service contract can be found with her, Horst Matthes comes under suspicion. The radio reports about the murder and when he hears it, he panics. His disabled wife is unaware of his occasional adventures and if he were now suspected of being a murderer, he would be exposed. Trying to get an alibi fails, so he decides to track down the murderer in order to prove his innocence. He investigates on his own, while several times he can only escape the police by a hair's breadth. Matthes' lawyer advises him to face the police, but he wants to continue looking for the murderer himself. He assumes that the driver of the black BMW is the killer.

The zealous radio reporter Sascha Jens reports on the murder on the radio, whereupon Mona Stallner calls the station and speaks to Sascha Jens. She tells him that Beatrice got into a black BMW, which she herself learned from the police. Matthes knew Mona's address because Beatrice had mentioned where she lived, but when he got there he found Mona dead in the room and immediately ran away in a panic. He's slowly becoming desperate, but finds a book of matches from the Moon Glow in his pocket, which Beatrice had left in his car. So he takes a taxi to this lesbian bar. He poses as Beatrice's father and can thus find out that she was here very often and that the house owner was the only man who sometimes came in there.

The taxi driver recognizes Matthes in a picture in the newspaper and calls the police. When a patrol car arrives at the Moon Glow , he secretly disappears out of the window. He hides with the unsuspecting caretaker and there learns the name and address of the house owner and landlord. When he looks for him, he comes across a black BMW. He rings the doorbell and goes in because the door is not locked. In the basement he meets the radio reporter Sascha Jens, who unceremoniously locks him up in a soundproofed studio.

Brinkmann has to suspect that Matthes is in the process of eliminating witnesses, as he continues to go on his own to prove his innocence. He goes to the Moon Glow , since Matthes was spotted there. He learns from the caretaker that the person he is looking for is very interested in the homeowner.

Meanwhile, Bernhard Winkelmann is also looking for Sascha Jens. Since this is not on the radio station, he goes to his home. He introduces himself as a friend of Mona and tells him that Jens' voice is on the answering machine when he recently asked about Beatrice again. The last time he called, he found out that Beatrice was traveling with the rideshare service. Mona recognized Jens' voice on the radio. Since he knew after Mona's phone call to the transmitter that she suspected him, he killed her, as Beatrice had done before, when she hysterically made it clear that she didn't want to know anything about him. During this involuntary confession, Brinkmann bursts in, Jens can be arrested and Matthes is freed from the basement studio.
