action

The two gangsters Hannes Knaab and Alex Dehn raid a bank branch and accidentally take the customer Harry Meier, who had just emptied a bank safe, hostage. They take his briefcase from Meier before releasing him and continuing the escape on a motorcycle. Konrad, supported by his assistant Luck, takes over the investigation and is surprised that the hostage has not yet reported to the police. The witnesses' descriptions of the perpetrators are contradictory and do not help the police. In the meantime, Knaab and Dehn find more than DM 200,000 in cash and valuable jewelry in the briefcase captured by Meier, which far exceeds their own yield from the attack. Luck finds out that the hostage had rented the locker under a false name and suspects complicity, which Konrad believes is unlikely. In the meanwhile, it is discovered in the robbed bank that the safe deposit box of the customer Ms. Conndorf was emptied in an unknown manner and the customer was thus robbed. Meier seeks out the jewelry stealer Lassky in order to get to Knaab and Dehn through him, while Konrad investigates the bank's surroundings without any results.

Meanwhile, Knaab becomes careless and, in the euphoria of the wealth he has gained, gives away a valuable ring of the booty to a prostitute, Dehn finds out and can buy the ring back. He then tries to set off the jewelry via halo circles. Meanwhile, another bank customer discovers that his locker has been looted, but the customer does not report this. The bank employee Helga Böker, Meier's friend, visits him and reports to him about the status of the investigation in her bank. The two had planned to leave for Rio with the stolen jewelry and cash. Meier promised to get the loot back. Shortly afterwards, Lassky was able to provide Meier with a reference to Dehn's fence Schütz, Meier plans to set a trap for Dehn. A colleague of Helga Böker tells her supervisor that she behaved strangely when she received a call the day after the robbery, Konrad, who is convinced that an employee in the bank must be an accomplice to the locker robber, takes a close look at the local jewelry stealers . Meanwhile, Dehn is getting nervous and wants to get rid of the jewelry via Schütz as soon as possible. In addition to the police, he fears an attack by Meier and takes a gun with him in case her former hostage shows up. Dehn observes Lassky, who goes into Schütz's shop before him.

He intercepts Lassky in front of the shop and forces him to come with him, in Lassky's apartment he asks him about Meier and abuses Lassky in order to find out something about their connection. When Lassky tries to draw a gun, Dehn shoots him. Meanwhile, Meier penetrates Knaab and Dehn's penthouse, overpowers Knaab and has him hand over the money. Meanwhile, Konrad and Luck find Lassky dead in his apartment when they want to ask him about the jewelry they are looking for because of his previous convictions. The officers question Schütz about Lassky, whom they saw in Schütz's shop shortly before he was murdered, who admits that he is stealing for the two robbers, he knows nothing about their identity. When Dehn comes home, Meier is already waiting for him with a gun. Dehn and Meier agree on a meeting point at a junkyard, where Dehn wants to return the jewelry to him if he gets his money back in return. When Meier meets Dehn at the scrap yard and they exchange their booty, Knaab, who was shot by his accomplice Dehn due to his inability, uses a crane to destroy the hut and steals the slightly dazed Meier's jewelry. Meier takes up the pursuit of the fleeing Knaab and finally manages to remove the jewelry from him after a wild chase. The seriously injured Dehn makes a statement to Konrad, who lets Helga Bröker know through a trick that the gangsters are killing each other.

Konrad arrests the broken up Broker and bluffs that her boyfriend has been seriously injured, she denies any involvement in the crime. With another trick he finally gets Helga Bröker, who had a duplicate of the master key of the lockers made for her boyfriend, to betray Meier, who is currently planning his sole escape abroad. After the officers do not find him in his apartment, they rush to the airport, where they can arrest Meier, who had only used Helga.
