action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg gets into quite a bit of trouble when he hits a young girl on his bicycle. Little does he know that the accident was provoked by Franziska so that she can get Wilsberg to support her in the search for her baby, which she had to give up for adoption at the urging of her parents. But no sooner has he identified the adoptive parents than Franziska has the child kidnapped by her friend Sven and his brother. They do not know that the baby is lactose intolerant and under no circumstances should it be given normal milk. In addition, Sven's criminal brother uses the action to extort money from the adoptive parents. The first handover of money fails and heats up the spirits of the kidnappers. When the baby begins to scream because of his illnesses and cannot be calmed down, her hiding place threatens to be exposed.

There is a second handover, which is carried out by Wilsberg. Although he behaves almost as directed, he is knocked down and wakes up next to the dead kidnapper. The money is no longer there and when Sven appears he thinks Wilsberg is the murderer of his brother and takes him to his hiding place without further ado. The detective, who disappeared without a trace, is now suspected by the police of having embezzled the money and killed Mathias Siegert. Meanwhile, Wilsberg secretly sends a message to Ekki and Alex so that they can find him. He can convince Franziska and Sven to give up and take the baby to the hospital. During the conversation he learns that they asked for much less money than was in the suitcase when the money was handed over for the second time. That leads Wilsberg to the real culprit.

The adoptive parents Suzanne and Gunnar Weltenbrink had taken the baby with them because they hoped it would save their marriage. But in addition to the private problems, Weltenbrink had almost ruined his wife's company and hoped to reorganize his finances through the kidnapping. He knocked Wilsberg down, shot the kidnapper and took the money. Since he is already on the run, Wilsberg and Ekki follow him on his way to Amsterdam and are able to catch him.

Suzanne Weltenbrink is deeply disappointed that her husband wanted to deprive her of her last savings and put the baby's life at risk. So she decided to take Franziska Upholt into her home and to employ her as a domestic help near her daughter.
