STORY LINE (in english):
'Customs inspector Kressin watched Edelgauner Sievers at the station as he boarded a train. On the way back, Kressin speaks to a strange woman on the platform. Although she is carrying a heavy suitcase, she initially refuses his help'. Nevertheless, with
his charm, he takes her home. Her name is Elizabeth.

A fully loaded truck drives up to customs' on 'the inner-German border and is only superficially checked, which is common with transit deliveries . This means that the semitrailer can continue its journey, unhindered. The driver Vondracek, telephones his
client from a rest stop' and says 'that he 'is now at the agreed point. He takes a room for the night and watches two men pick up the truck for unloading. He goes unnoticed and watches as the two men unload barrels from the truck. In the process however,
he is discovered and brought to' the gang's boss, Strauss and is confronted. Vondracek is demanding more money for the risk it takes on every trip. But since Strauss is only' boss 'of Sievers, he cannot afford rebellious people. Therefore, Vondracek is
forcibly silenced by throwing him in front of a moving truck.

The customs council, Kressin's superior, calls Kressin to a scene of the accident.' Their 'smuggled customs officer Vondracek was found run over by a truck. Obviously however, he was already dead when he was dumped on the highway. Since this is probably
a murder, inspector Lutz is now investigating. He finds out that Vondraceck's last' trip 'with 100 barrels of boiled linseed oil was from Bulgaria via Germany to Belgium, where Kressin suspects alcohol smuggling - the' very 'reason for Vondraceck's
undercover investigation. Since Aachen is assumed to be the border crossing point to Belgium, inspector Lutz and Kressin drive off immediately to catch the truck and possibly the murderers there before they leave the country. He 'arrives at customs in
good time and 'examines' the truck and its cargo; a damaged sealing wire indicates that cargo has been' switched. 'Without further ado, Kressin took over the truck as the new driver to bring it to its destination in Liège . This is the only way they can
finally get to the smugglers' gang. When he arrived in Liège, Kressin took the truck to the address given on the delivery papers, but this was not planned. While Kressin is looking around the storage area, he discovers Sievers, who is getting back into
his Rolls-Royce and driving off. The company boss Desroches is irritated and suspicious of the new driver, especially since a second driver was not there as usual. For the return trip, Desroches sends two of his own drivers to the border. They are
supposed to take out Kressin on the way, but Kressin can overwhelm' them 'and escapes with the truck. On the way he' is 'suddenly followed by two vans with the familiar barrels. He manages to shake off both vehicles.

Back in Cologne, the Customs Council reprimanded him for his arbitrary behavior, but Kressin did not care. He contacts Desroches and offers him the goods and the truck, pretending to be the driver. Then he waits for a response. Since he has made his home
in' Elizabeth's 'apartment under a false name, he is keeping her with his aunt for security. Back in the apartment, he noticed strangers watching him from the street. The next day, Kressin lures the men to a café. He is so fixated on two of them that he
does not notice that a third man is putting drops in his coffee. When Kressin collapses unconscious, a fake ambulance picks him up and brings him to Strauss at the gang's headquarters. Conscious again, Kressin takes a good beating and is forced to reveal
where the vice is hiding. Here he also learns from Strauss that the headquarters should be "near Lüdenscheid". While two people are looking for the truck, Kressin is locked up. When he looks through a window, he again sees Sievers briefly talking to
Strauss and disappearing in his Rolls-Royce. When the two crooks find the truck, they can report by phone that everything is okay, but are arrested immediately afterwards by inspector Lutz. Kressin can free himself, but the building has already been
surrounded by the police and is stormed after a fire fight.
