action

Astrid Poelke proudly presents her new home in Limburg to her parents . While she is celebrating with her parents and their two children, her husband seems rather depressed. Financing was not as easy as his wife thinks. As a construction manager in Nigeria, he had taken his chance and smuggled drugs from Africa to Germany. Now back he tries to sell the goods to professional drug dealers in Frankfurt. The handover should take place at a fairground. Instead of delivering the drug himself, Rolf Poelke sends a Rikki. After the deal apparently goes smoothly, the gangsters try to defraud the site manager and pursue Rikki to get their money back. During the chase, one of the drug dealers is run over by Rikki, who then flees on foot.

The police are called and Rolf Poelke is identified as the owner of the accident vehicle. Inspector Brinkmann visits Poelke on his Frankfurt construction site and learns that he had loaned the car to a girl. He states that Rikki did not bring it back and so he would have reported it as stolen.

After the police examined the victim's car for traces, they found half a kilogram of heroin in it . Brinkmann's assistant secretly searches Wegener Poelke's room in Frankfurt and finds more drugs. Since Poelke denies having anything to do with it, any suspicion falls on Rikki, who is now increasingly wanted by the police. However, she cannot be found and Brinkmann is beginning to think she is a phantom.

The drug dealers are also looking for Rikki and her client. Tölz, the head of the dealers, begins to shadow Poelke and contacts him by phone. He threatens that from now on he should only deal with him directly, otherwise his family would suffer. At the same time, Tölz tries to find Rikki in order to steal the money from her. After he penetrates a villa where he suspects the wanted person, a shot is fired and Tölz sinks dead to the ground. Brinkmann forces the search for Rikki because he suspects that she fired the shot and that she represents a serious threat. The manhunt brings initial success and a hot lead to Rikki. Bringmann follows her to Poelke's house in Limburg. When Astrid Poelke lets the inspector into the house, he finds Rolf Poelke in the bathroom, where he is taking off his clothes and wig .....
