action

In the Duisburg prison, an Iranian commando tries to free the electronics scientist Bohm junior in order to kidnap him. The prison officials can prevent this. A member of the gang takes his own life while trying to escape.

Chief Detective Schimanski, who recently started living with his new girlfriend Veronique and her son Simon, and his colleague Thanner interviewed the scientist Bohm jr. He can't figure out what happened, and so they go to his uncle at the company, who tells them that he is making microchips for rockets. Bohm junior, who was fatally imprisoned for drunk driving, played a key role in the development of these chips. In the meantime, Schimanski's colleague Hänschen has found an oriental journalist who had visited Bohm in prison before the action. This is murdered before Schimanski and Thanner arrive at the hour hotel.

After Schimanski tried in vain to get information from the Iranian guest worker scene, the Iranian commando kidnapped Veronique's son in a night-and-fog operation. Thanner is distracted by Sheila, a member of the commando, in a disco. Schimanski was lured to a meeting with Hanschen so that he could not interfere.

When Veronique, devastated, reports the kidnapping to Schimanski, attempts are made to track down the command by means of an interception system. Unfortunately, the perpetrators have thought ahead and mislead the police. Schimmi now offers himself as a hostage for Simon. He is apparently exchanged and dragged to a villa outside. When he managed to break out of the room he was locked in, he overpowered Sheila and found Simon. Another boy was exchanged for him. Schimanski is discovered and flees to the parking lot with Simon and Sheila as his hostage. He tries to escape with an off-road vehicle parked there, breaks through the electrified gate and lands upside down in the ditch after being shot at. After he got up and flees into the forest with Simon and Sheila, Sheila manages to run back, where she is shot by her own people. The command withdraws and leaves the villa. Schimanski brings Simon back to Veronique in the precinct, while Thanner recognizes the girl from the disco the next morning in the villa in Sheila. Schimanski joins them. Later, a BKA and a CIA investigator appear at the scene and surprisingly declare the case to be political. Schimanski, who reacts indignantly, is put down by the CIA man after a language misunderstanding.
