Elli Hall used to be a dancer, but had to interrupt her career when she was expecting a child. She lived with her little daughter Angie at her sister Traudel's until she met Hall and they got married. The older man loves her passionately and at the same time fears losing the attractive young woman to someone else. This is exactly what happens when Elli Hall discovers that her husband has set the detective on her. Fellner takes a shine to her and she flirts with him; when the detective wants to return the job and Hall confesses that he has fallen in love with his wife, he kills him in a fit of rage. He hides the body in his magazine and later dumps it in the Main. The next day Elli tells her husband that she wants to leave him and move in with Fellner. Hall implores her in vain to stay with him. The next morning, Elli is found stabbed to death in a wooded area near a sex bar. Since she has her papers with her, she can be quickly identified. Inspector Brinkmann takes over the investigation. He learns from Hall that his wife had jewelry worth several 100,000 marks with her when she left him. Since the jewelry has disappeared, the first suspicion is that Elli was the victim of a robbery-murder; however, the way the unknown perpetrator mauled her speaks against it. The first clue points to the striptease bar Elli visited on the night of the murder. See less
