action

A stranger shoots a moving train with a rifle. Through the window he meets a man who is bleeding to death. Inspector Lena Odenthal's assistant suspects the perpetrator to be a self-proclaimed "Robin Hood" who has been blackmailing the railways for a long time and then giving the money away to those in need. In fact, a money claim is received and Lena Odenthal supervises the handover of the money. Despite the best preparations, the blackmailer escapes.

The next day an anonymous caller answers and gives the police a hint where they can pick up "Robin". In fact, Klaus Münter, a pharmacist from Ludwigshafen, is found with a large sum of money, the origin of which he does not want to explain. After a lengthy interrogation, he admits to having cleaned the money in his pharmacy because it was contaminated with color cartridges. Then he would have delivered it in France and received a commission for it. He would have nothing to do with blackmail or even murder. After rifle cartridges were found in a house search in Münter's pharmacy, he was taken into custody. His lawyer can, however, get him bailed, and Münter's fingerprints could not be found on the cartridges. However, he revealed to the police that he had exchanged the money through a locker. This is cleared shortly afterwards by Münter's lawyer, who hands over the money in it to the public prosecutor's office, as one of his clients allegedly asked him to do it.

The forensic scientist can now assign the fingerprints on the cartridges found to Attorney Weinhauer. This nourishes Odenthal's theory that Münter and Weinhauer form a quartet with Münter's girlfriend and his wife, who is jealous for a reason. She also notices that there are disagreements in the community that has hitherto been sworn in, because the anonymous call may have come from Münter's own wife. For Odenthal Weinhauer is the culprit and Münter is only his "water carrier", but he sticks to his lawyer. The inspector tries to unsettle Münter and encourages him to think about his friend's loyalty. Because the "Robin Hood" case threatens to be exposed, Weinhauer wants to sacrifice his friend rather than himself. Odenthal's arguments are successful and Münter now accuses his own lawyer as the real perpetrator. As proof, he reveals the hiding place of the murder weapon that Münter buried on behalf of Weinhauer. Prosecutors are expected to find Weinhauer's fingerprints on the remaining cartridges in the rifle.
