action

Sybille Kral is betrayed by her husband Karl and would like to get rid of him. A divorce is not that easy, however, as he has put all of your money into his company. Her young friend, Werner Lentfer, brings her to a very criminal solution. So Sybille meets with a certain "Charly", an alleged contract killer. During the conversation, she insists that Sybille say again that her husband should die. Since she recorded this conversation with a dictation machine , she can now ask Mr. Kral to pay. He should also pay for not killing him. Karl Kral goes to his wife and confronts her with the fact that he knows that she intends to have him murdered. So he wants to divorce her, but only on his terms. In the office, his secretary, Rebekka Schröder, informs him that his wife has been on the phone with someone and that it was about fake bills. Shortly afterwards, Kral is found shot dead at home. Allegedly a car was seen driving away. His secretary Schröder says that he may have had an appointment with Mr. Hassan, a good customer from Arabia . Brinkmann went to Kral's company and asked his next employee, Karlheinz Diesing. He knows about dubious house deals, which he warned his boss about.

Mrs. Kral is also interviewed by Brinkmann and describes her failed relationship without further ado. Last night she had her friend Werner Lentfer as a guest, who confirmed the alibi on request. Shortly afterwards, Ms. Kral receives a letter with a copy of the tape recording that “Charly” secretly made. For a six-figure sum, she would then receive the original recording. She consults with her lawyer Dr. Zimmenius, how her specific financial situation is now and how her husband's business is now to be arranged. As she is about to leave, Brinkmann appears and asks Zimmenius whether Kral's business can have anything to do with his international connections. He admits that there is an export ban to certain areas, but that there is still room for maneuver if you do it cleverly.

Sybille receives a call that she should now deliver the requested money. While Werner follows her, she deposits the money at the agreed location and finds an envelope with the original cassette. Meanwhile, a shot can be heard and Werner's body is found the next day. Brinkmann orders Sybille Kral to Lentfer's apartment and asks her for her alibi. She is desperate over her boyfriend's death. Since Brinkmann looked around Lentfer's apartment to find any motif, he spread various photos of women on the table. Among these pictures, Mrs. Kral discovers a photo of "Charly" and another in which Werner is flirting very intimately with her. She has to realize that Werner probably just used her.

Brinkmann has Ms. Kral's apartment searched for evidence and finds the tape with the incriminating recording. She is then arrested. Her lawyer visits her there and she confesses that she has been blackmailed. That gives him the idea to turn it in the defense tactics so that the murder should not actually be carried out, but only a plan behind it to relieve her husband for (her) money. "Charly" had, in a later conversation, even assured Sybille that she would never kill, but only ever collect twice. In this way, everyone involved remains silent and there is no risk whatsoever.

Brinkmann searches Kral's company for documents about who he has traded with. He doesn't find anything, but Schröder's secretary is able to reproduce the last letter based on the copy of her steno pad. The customers were in the Middle East and Kral may have been supplying materials to two war countries at the same time, which such customers rarely go unpunished. When Rebekka Schröder was the last to leave the company building at the end of the day, she was shot at. She goes to the police and tells Wegner what happened and that she made a big mistake by working for Dr. Zimmenius manipulated evidence. She was supposed to get 100,000 DM for making Hassan the main suspect, and she even forged a letter for him. With Rebecca's help, Brinkmann sets a trap for Zimmenius and even gets his confession. He got into an argument with Kral because he said he had manipulated deliveries behind his back, and when Kral hit him, he shot him. Since Kral had given him the cassette that he had bought from "Charly" for safekeeping, he had the idea of ​​blackmailing Sybille Kral too, and when Lentfers suddenly appeared, he shot him too.
