Bar owner Michael Hagen, awaiting trial for drug trafficking in custody, has prepared his escape with the help of a secret message to his lover Karin Rombach. The trip to see his dying mother is supposed to give him the opportunity. His mother's partner, Kauer, was supposed to get 5,000 marks in cash for this, supposedly for bail, but in reality as escape money. On the way back to prison, Hagen manages to incapacitate the police officer accompanying him with a fire extinguisher from a motorway service station and gets into the getaway car that is waiting. Two days later, Karin Rombach turns to Dr. Franck in confidence because Hagen has not turned up for the agreed meeting and because she has not yet received any sign of life from him. Hagen's body is found a short time later.
