There has been a theft at a goods station. Brock, the stationmaster and generally respected, has recognised one of the thieves. However, when brought face to face with the culprit he denies having seen him. Moreover, he asks to be transferred, claiming this would be in the interest of his daughter,Vera.
The thief, a certain Runge, sees to it that Frank. a young fitter who was his accomplice in the theft, is to "take care of" Brack's daughter. Frank is to make Vera understand that her father is lying when he claims that her mother died during the bombing of Küstrin. But Frank falls in love with Vera...
Together they now try to shed light on the past and discover that Brack and Runge know each other. During World War 11, Brack's wife hid a Jewish refugee. Runge shot dead the refugee and denounced the woman to the Gestapo, while Brock watched on without resisting either the murder or the betrayal of his wife. But he was devoured by shame. He therefore adopted a new identity and remained silent about his past. But when Frank is murdered by Runge, Brack owns up to the events of the past...
