    'Inspector Konrad sullenly opens the' file 'and presents the viewer with a file with the note that the viewer should have more fun with the case than he does.

    Then,' a flashback follows 'with extracts from files,' the 'scenes in which the history of the fraud series' are 're-enacted, and interim retrospective statements from those' are 'involved.

    Regarding 'the Johannes Stein fraud case. He was a young banker and employed by a stockbroker. He got engaged to Barbara Ratzmann.

    Stein manages to penetrate wealthy circles and create an image for himself as a financial genius.

    He proposes a profitable deal to his friends' in 'the Wimper family, in which they lend gold bars to a Swiss bank as security for business that is to be deposited in a Frankfurt bank. However, Stein has these gold bars forged by the metalworker Günther
    Ackermann, only the outermost layer is gold , the rest is lead .

    The scam seems to be working because no one can control the authenticity of the gold bars if they are locked away. Ackermann, however, fears for his payment and reduces the thickness of the gold coating of the counterfeit bars and withholds the rest of
    the gold. This makes the bars easier to recognize as a forgery and the' confusion 'is exposed.

    Stein tries to sell the gold bars elsewhere, but the potential buyer Teufel sees through the hoax. Stein flees and deposits the fake gold bars in a locker at the airport, where the police seize the gold bars and identify them as fakes.

    In Paris, 'the French-speaking Dr. Otto helps to find new victims of fraud. Stein is finally caught by Konrad and taken to a psychiatric clinic, where he never can cure his narcissistic disorders.
