The fuel dealer Josef Rosenkötter is close to bankruptcy and comes up with a murderous plan. He poses as a widower in a matchmaking -Inserat out. Through this he gets to know the single Roswitha Mattusch and invites her to his place. He lives in a villa with his wife and a young teacher as a subtenant . His wife is at a party with friends. He shoots Frau Mattusch and fakes a break-in. At the scene of the crime, he identifies the dead woman to the police as his wife in order to collect his wife's life insurance for the restructuring of his company. As an alibi, he goes to the party and gives his initiated wife the gun. She is now supposed to go into hiding as Frau Mattusch and make the murder weapon disappear.

However, Rosenkötter Commissioner Haferkamp already appears to be too helpful and well-versed at the scene of the crime. He doesn't trust it from the start and doubts the break-in due to the clumsy execution. Nevertheless, everything goes smoothly for Rosenkötter at first, but he does not expect his wife's mistrust. She lives as Mrs. Mattusch in a hotel and pursues him in order to have the situation under control. Rosenkötter has long had a relationship with his subtenant and tried to get his wife out of the way. But his wife turns the tables, because she has not thrown away the murder weapon and can escape with his car by force of arms. She is now blackmailing her husband and demanding part of the sum insured.

In the meantime, Haferkamp has received a search message regarding Ms. Mattusch from his colleague Buchmüller. When the officers visit their hotel, they meet Mrs. Rosenkötter, who pretends to be Mrs. Mattusch. That initially seems to clarify this missing person case.
