action

The successful architect Peter Huck meets with his lover Simone Karelus in his weekend house, which is by a lake in the forest. Huck tells his wife that he has to travel to Frankfurt am Main on business and stay at the Hotel Schweizer Hof there. He arranged with the hotel porter Hartung that he would call him at the weekend house if Mrs. Huck asks about her husband.

Helga Huck plants a few trees in her garden. She receives a letter stating that her husband has won an architecture competition. She calls the hotel and the doorman says Huck has only just left. The doorman calls Huck in the weekend house and he calls his wife. During the conversation, Ms. Huck hears a blackbird singing in the background . Later she wants to plant the remaining sapling near the weekend house and drives into the forest. There she hears the blackbirds singing and becomes suspicious. She walks a few hundred meters to the weekend house and sees her husband with his lover.

Heiko, the son of the Hucks, recently met Sabine Knoop in a pub. Sabine has run away from the welfare home and lives in an empty, cold hut on the railway embankment. He offers her to quarter her in his parents' weekend house and spend a few nice days with her there. Heiko leaves Sabine in the weekend house and goes shopping in the nearby village.

On the same day, Peter Huck travels to Frankfurt again on business. His wife believes that he will meet again with the mistress in the weekend house. She drives out into the forest and sees Sabine from afar. Ms. Huck believes it is her husband's mistress and shoots Sabine with a hunting rifle. When Heiko returns, he sees the rifle lying in front of the house, but there is no trace of Sabine for the time being. Unsuspecting, he puts the rifle back in the gun cabinet and then goes looking for Sabine. He finds her dead in the forest. Then he panics and tries to remove all traces of himself and Sabine in the weekend house.

The body is found the next day and Commissioner Haferkamp is determined. After a short time he finds out that Sabine was in the weekend house with Heiko and arrests him, although Heiko protests his innocence. In order to protect his son, Peter Huck then confesses to the murder. Heiko is released and his father is arrested. After Ms. Huck learns that she shot the wrong person, she is initially shocked. However, at first she succeeds in hiding her perpetrator and even comes to terms with the arrest of her husband, since the arrest separates him from his lover.

By chance, Inspector Haferkamp uncovered the fact that Peter Huck had also met his lover in the weekend house and that Simone and Sabine were very similar. He did not really believe in Peter Huck's confession, as he had no credible motive. He now correctly suspects that Mrs. Huck accidentally shot the wrong person in her jealousy, but cannot prove it.

Heiko Huck finds the remains of the trees in the trunk of his mother's car and realizes that she probably wanted to plant them near the weekend house. He assumes that she was in the forest, met Sabine there and possibly even killed her. However, since Heiko does not know anything about his father's love affair with Simone Karelus, he does not see through the connections completely at first. Mrs. Huck receives an anonymous ransom note. The blackmailer says that he watched her murder and that she should deposit 2000 DM in hush money at Sabine Knoop's grave. She drives to the cemetery and puts down the money. Haferkamp, ​​who has Mrs. Huck shadowed by the police officers Grabbe and Schult, is also there and sees Heiko Huck pick up the envelope with the money. Heiko explains that he doesn't want the money, just certainty. Since his mother agreed to the extortion, she must be guilty. Mrs. Huck is arrested and the case is solved.
