action
A girl appears at Kriminalhauptkommissar Bruno Ehrlicher and Kriminalhauptmeister Kain in Dresden who cannot make a sound. Honest realizes that the child is in shock. A phone call briefly distracts him - a woman's body was found in a motel. After the call ended, the girl disappeared. Cain and Ehrlicher go to the place where the body was found. The slain woman is Annerose Berkau, the mother of the girl who the investigators had visited. A photo of the child is labeled "Laura my angel, at 13". Questioning the night porter reveals that Annerose had met a blond man the previous evening and had a long chat with him. It was about money. Laura secretly overheard the conversation. The man had left, but returned later. The night porter also noticed that the man was wearing a wig.
Meanwhile, Laura drives to Halle to see a friend. Ehrlicher and Kain find out that she actually lives in a children's home in Thuringia. Annerose was caught trying to secretly leave the GDR in 1986 and was separated from her child. Laura never met her father, but knew that it was an Italian truck driver. The home manager confesses two things to Ehrlicher: That a truck driver was shot dead at the GDR border in 1986 and was probably Laura's father; and that a man recently called the home and reported that Laura's mother had been in a traffic accident and Laura had run away traumatized. She reported to him that Laura may have gone to Halle to see a friend. More honestly reacted tense, as the investigators have now found out with the help of phantom images that the blonde we are looking for is probably the Dutchman Loris, who is responsible for the deaths of numerous girls whom he had abused as child prostitutes.
Although Ehrlicher demanded absolute silence about the case, shortly afterwards not only the radio, but also the newspaper carried a report about the alleged murderer Laura. Honest realizes that the real culprit is so trying to panic Laura. Meanwhile, she seeks out her best friend Marie, who she takes to her friends in Dresden. She tells her that her mother tried to convince her into prostitution, whereupon she ran away. On the way, Marie and Laura are followed by a car. The blonde Achim, who has already ambushed Laura in Halle, pushes Marie's car off the street and threatens her and Laura with a gun. Marie knocks Achim down because she masters hand-to-hand combat techniques. Both drive on in Achim's car while he is arrested shortly afterwards. Among other things, he has a picture of Laura. Achim grinds more honestly.
Marie hides Laura in an illegal workshop in Dresden. Both Cain and Loris find out where the workshop is. Loris manages to kidnap Laura. Soon the suitor arrives who “requested” Laura. Before anything worse can happen, Loris, his partner Jettner and the suitor are arrested. During the nerve-wracking interrogation, Ehrlicher learned from Achim the telephone number on which he had received instructions to track down Laura, and was thus able to find out Loris' headquarters - the Jettner Immobilien building. There is a happy ending for Laura too. Her grandmother, who is Italian and also called Laura, could be found through her father's death. She comes to Dresden, where grandmother and granddaughter fall into each other for the first time. Honest, in turn, is called to the next case.
