action

Hamburg at night - and in the middle of it all is a pretty, 19-year-old woman who is dancing in puddles with happiness. The next morning she is found dead, hanging in scaffolding and with abrasions. The French woman had a large amount of cash with her and was employed by the Erichs as an au pair . They describe Natalie as very reserved and shy. However, she wore Frau Erichs' jewelry that night.

Shortly before the death, his housekeeper saves the life of the insurance agent Wolfgang Bechter, which he wanted to take with a cocktail of sedatives and antidepressants . In his suicide note, he writes of Natalie as a "little French woman". They were briefly shown together in the nocturnal opening scene. According to the management of his employer, Horizont Versicherung, he had already embezzled money several times in the past. His buddy Klaus Offenbach describes how he put Bechter in the insurance company and confirms that he was having a hard time with the opposite sex.

Holicek tries to empathize with Bechter's leisure time activities and comes through a taxi receipt to a pub where Bechter wanted to borrow money. The host's statement leads the inspectors to Klaus Offenbach. He portrays Wolfgang Bechter as an addicted player. The time-consuming investigations in the milieu initially lead to the rumor of a rumor due to Casstorff's tenacity: there are supposed to be games without limits and rules and a French woman is said to have gone too far. The really gambling addict Klaus Offenbach gives Casstorff an address: the "Würfelzimmer", a "swinger club for gamers". However, the investigators only find one vacant lot there. In another restless night, Casstorff finally finds the Würfelzimmer, where the Serbian brand of cigarettes is smoked, the butts of which were lying around at Natalie's place of discovery. Helim Asam confirms playing with Natalie. She was accompanied by "a guy" who gave her a bundle of money to continue playing after losing the jewelry. In the absence of valuables as a stake for the last game, Natalie offers her body. But: she wins! Everything!

Helim claims to have followed Natalia and asked her for alms for his children. Casstorff doesn't believe him. As a final stimulus to find out the whole truth, Casstorff puts his service weapon on the gaming table. However, this forces Helim to take it to himself, first to threaten Casstorff and finally to take his own life.
