action

Karl Wollek tries in vain to find a decent job, because it's not so easy with his criminal record. So he goes on an illegal tour with his buddy Horst Kehrmann. When they want to deliver a truck load to the port of Hamburg, they are intercepted by a gang of criminals. The truck is shot at when trying to shake it off. Kehrmann is fatally hit, and Wollek escapes, slightly injured.

The dead man is found that night and Commissioners Stoever and Brockmöller are called to the scene. Numerous fingerprints are found in the stolen truck, so that the investigators quickly track down Wollek. He tries to get help from his probation officer, Heinz Maurer. He meets with him and Maurer urges Wollek to surrender, but he strictly refuses.

Brockmöller finds out that the shooting at the free port was possibly just a diversionary maneuver. Obviously, a gang of criminals is smuggling electronic impulses from Germany, with which one could even detonate an atomic bomb. The BKA has been on the heels of those behind it for some time. In particular, the lawyer Almut Bashani is in the sights of the BKA, a large-scale house search did not bring the hoped-for success, because all goods were removed as a precaution.

When a Herr Liebscher shows up at Maurer's and urges him to tell him the whereabouts of Wollek, the probation officer is in great danger. In order to emphasize his demands, Liebscher staged a traffic accident in which Maurer was fortunately not injured. He then confides in the police and Stoever turns off Meyer Zwo for his protection. Shortly thereafter, there is a second attack in which Maurer's dog is killed, whereupon he doubts the effectiveness of the personal protection. He therefore meets with Liebscher and explains to him that he wants to take Wollek abroad so that the police cannot get him.

Since the investigators don't really know where to start, Brockmöller asks at the port when the next possibility would be to ship goods to the Middle East . He thinks it is possible that not all parts of the country are out of the country and that the arms dealers could be caught there. However, it is very likely that the entire delivery is already on the way abroad. Stoever is researching the lawyer Bashani, who is considered a successful criminal defense attorney. So some high-profile criminals should be indebted to her after Bashani saved her from prison. Among these, Stoever hopes to find the perpetrators of the attack on the truck, which, according to his presumption, only had the goal of eliminating the two petty criminals as confidants. He shows Maurer photos of the candidates in the hope that he will recognize Liebscher on them. The probation officer took the opportunity to inform Stoever that he wanted to meet with Wollek, but that he was discovered and shot at by the gangsters. Wollek then fell into the harbor basin. However, Stoever does not believe him because he has long had the feeling that he is shielding his protégé from the police. He allegedly did not recognize anyone in the photos shown to him.

Liebscher's people are desperately looking for Wollek, who has since been taken to the hospital because his gunshot wound had become infected and his health had deteriorated considerably. He is admitted to the hospital and given medical attention. For his protection, his room is put under surveillance and Stoever shows him the photos from the criminal record. Wollek identifies Liebscher, who is known to the police as Schuhrig. He is summoned and interrogated. He only confesses that he only organized the truck tour for Bashani.

Bashani is interrogated and she confirms the investigators' suspicion. In order to free her father from Islamist imprisonment, she procured the electronic pulse generator and had it taken out of the country. The truck tour by Kehrmann and Wollek was just a diversionary maneuver in order to be able to deliver the precision detonators unhindered. She neither suspected nor wanted that human lives were in danger. She was only the mediator, the details of the contract were handled by the Islamist recipients.

One of the killers of the attack on the truck appears at Maurer, who wants to do his job at all costs and also want to kill Maurer as a witness. But since personal protection is still active, Meyer Zwo intervenes in good time and shoots the intruder, who is fatally hit.
