The young son of the wealthy industrialist Preuss has been kidnapped. An unknown blackmailer demands a considerable sum over the phone. The ransom is to be deposited at a certain house. When the police monitor this house, they are able to arrest a man named Kettwig. Although everything speaks against him, he stubbornly denies it. The motive and execution of the crime are very reminiscent of a crime thriller. But then, in this highlight from SFB (now rbb) from 1969 by Johannes Hendrich, there are the first signs that the story could have happened quite differently. Image source: Boris Breuer
