At the request of pensioner Galina Nikolaevna, the detective is looking for her brother Alexander Rinberg, whom she has never seen. Her mother Valentina Grigoryevna believed her son and his father, the German Harald Rinberg, to have died during the Great Patriotic War. But it turns out that they managed to escape, and Harald has been trying to find his beloved Valentina for more than half a century. The detective manages to find out Alexander's address, and soon the brother comes to visit his sister. But Alexander, who arrived, sets up Galina Nikolaevna's favorite student in order to discredit her. He himself lays claim to his sister's property.

Where did the real Alexander go, and how did Lykov manage to pass himself off as a false brother?
