STORY LINE (in english):
'At around 10.30 p.m.', '32-year-old businessman Joachim Fehrlein was stabbed by a still unknown man at the playground. Based on testimony, the perpetrator is a 24-year-old man in leather pants with short-cropped hair. The perpetrator is on the run. ”
This search report is issued by the police.

Some time before:' sailor Walter Hubert has a dispute with his colleague Albert. He explains to him that he will get Milly out of the Cha-Cha-Cha-Bar today. She was his girl' friend. 'In the port of Mannheim his ship moors. After Hubert's supervisor has
paid him his wages, he cleans himself up and leaves the boat. Before he goes to Milly, he takes pictures of himself in a photo booth and buys a silver bracelet with an anchor. After he' has 'another beer in a pub and' has 'a chat with the waitress Hanna,
he' goes 'to the Cha-Cha-Cha-Bar.

When Milly comes to his table, he hands her the wrapped bracelet.' The 'reaction to that is just lukewarm. When he gave her his photo, she said casually that it was like Christmas and got another drink at his' 'expense. “He should drink something other
than just Coke,” she is instructed by the manager of the bar at the counter. When Hubert told Milly about his plans and that he could take care of her and that she would then no longer have to work in the bar, she just asked him how he imagined it. But'
, then 'he doesn't want to buy her another drink. Then, she is assigned to other male guests. Hubert has to watch them do nothing. In order to be close to Milly, he bought drinks again. Towards morning he goes outside and waits there for the girls to
leave the bar. When he wants to go with Milly, she lets him go, she doesn't feel like it today. Disappointed and reproachful, he says he paid over 200 marks for her and her friends in the bar. Milly rejects him for a long time. He ' "should come back
tomorrow''. 'Then, she gets in the car with her friends. Angry and disappointed, Hubert shortly afterwards smashes a shop window behind which there are various knives, grabs one and runs away. Then, he wanders aimlessly through the night streets. Finally
he lies down on the hard bench in a station waiting room and falls asleep.

The next morning he wanders through Mannheim again until the bar opens. When the managing director Menges asks him what he wants, he asks for Milly. Since he has no more money, he asks Milly to help him so that he can stay. She then orders a Coke for him
and a Pernod for herself. Shortly afterwards, Milly tells her colleague that Hubert has no more money and that he wants to marry her. He's one of those guys who would give a woman a washing machine for Christmas and' 'think she'd be happy about it. When
Milly's boss finds out that Hubert is broke, she expels him from the bar. Angry as he is, he kicks the little dog of an older couple. When the couple insults him, he pulls out his knife, but then runs away when the woman calls out loudly for help. A
young man chases after him and wants to hold him, whereupon Hubert stabs' him. 'The man sinks to the ground. The police are called. Shortly afterwards, chief inspector Lutz also arrives, asks for witnesses and gives further instructions. He himself
drives to the hospital while his colleague Schroth is supposed to question the witnesses to the incident. At the clinic, the doctor informs Lutz that the man succumbed to his injuries shortly after his admission', 'without regaining consciousness.

Again, Hubert drives to Milly' at 'the bar. He urgently needs to speak to her, he tells the young woman. He should wait for her later, she consoled him. In the meantime, commissioner Lutz has to bring the news of her husband's death to Frau Fehrlein.
Since they found a bill at the crime scene that bears the imprint “Ecklbaum-Bier” and reads over 210.50 DM and' they 'found a button. Lutz and Schroth' then 'go to various bars and finally end up in the Cha-Cha-Cha-Bar. There, they are served by
Milly. Menges arrives and is asked if he can remember a guest from last night with a correspondingly high bill. Lutz reveals himself as a policeman and tells what happened. Menges and the girls negate any of his questions. When Hubert appears again
shortly afterwards in the bar, Milly tells him that he does not have to wait for her.' 'He knows what is going on himself. He should just leave her alone.

A little later, Hubert observes from his hiding place how Milly speaks to two patrol officers. Assuming that she betrayed him, he goes to the police, puts the knife on the table and' 'when asked what he did with it, replies that he was the one who' did
the stabbing. 'You already knew everything about Milly, anyway. Shortly afterwards he told Inspector Lutz that he wanted to marry Milly. She let him in and then laughed at him'. 'He had such anger in himself, but he didn't want to stab the man to death.
If Milly hadn't betrayed him, he wouldn't have' resented 'himself, either.

He learns from Lutz that Milly did not report him at all, but rather drew the police's attention to a taxi driver who had' contact with 'them a few days ago.'
