action

The Serbian Nina belongs together with Klaus Naumann and the Hungarian Marjan to a criminal trio, which mostly steals the keys of the apartment from older women who live alone and has them duplicated. While Nina then penetrates the apartments and takes all valuables and cash with her, Klaus Naumann distracts the ladies by inviting them to go for a stroll through town.

Nina now makes the mistake of encouraging Ivo Batic to play a shell game in a café and stealing 300 DM from him in the process. When he notices this, he confronts her. But since she is an attractive person, Batic does not immediately identify himself as a police officer, but spends the afternoon with her first.

But Klaus Naumann also has his little affair. He has fun with Ingrid Zobel, the jeweler's wife, with whom he regularly monetizes his stolen property. Since she wants to end the partly sadomasochistic relationship, he kills her in a fit of anger. In order not to be prosecuted for his act, he lures his colleague Marjan to the Zobels' private address in order to accuse him of the murder. But Nina does not put up with that, as clearing out the apartments is her job. So she takes the keys from Marjan and begins to search the apartment as usual. First she finds a pistol, which she takes and only later comes across the victim. She then flees the house.

At the police station, Schultz from the fraud department seeks help from his colleagues. He has to deal with the large number of break-ins that seem to have been piling up recently. Batic notices an address where he found Nina when he confronted her. As agreed, he meets her in the afternoon, but Nina discovers Batic's ID card and goes crazy. She threatens him with the gun and runs away. The suspicion of Batic and Leitmay's new murder case Zobel immediately falls on Nina. However, the victim was not shot and the statements of the witnesses who saw a person at their neighbors' house are contradicting one another.

Batic unconsciously wants to protect Nina and suspects the jeweler Zobel. He could have faked the break-in and influenced his talkative neighbors. Nevertheless, the inspectors try to find Nina, because her fingerprints were clearly found at the crime scene. Nina wants to go into hiding and falls into the clutches of a rival gang of crooks. She can escape and now has to hide from them too.

Schultz is now on the track of the tricksters and can arrest Marjan Rimski. This means that Klaus Naumann and Nina are also targeted by the fraud department's investigations. But the two are still fleeting. Leitmayr can track down Naumann and just comes in when two people from Bruno's gang take Naumann and Nina with them. He pursues them and calls for reinforcements so that the whole gang of thugs is arrested. Nina and Naumann, however, manage to escape. Batic takes up the chase, but Nina outwits him, steals his service weapon and shoots him. When Naumann comes to her aid, he persuades her that she must shoot Batic completely. In a dispute, Nina learns that Naumann killed Frau Zobel. When he tries to take the pistol away from her to shoot Batic, Nina pulls the trigger and hits Naumann, albeit not fatally. This is done by Leitmayr, who has just arrived, who with a targeted shot prevents Naumann from killing Nina with a crowbar. While Leitmayr is taking care of his injured colleague, Nina flees and Leitmayr lets her go as the murder has been solved and she is no longer a case for the homicide squad ...
