On a frosty winter night, he climbs a mountain to a hotel near the border that was once a meeting place for smugglers. He was only interested in one thing: to see his bride Sabine. Who knew then that his Sabine was involved in a crime? At the hotel, Ully learned that Sabine had disappeared in a mysterious way. She seems to be in danger and it is his duty to help her. Ully had a low opinion of the People's Police. So he decided to do the job himself. A lot was suspicious at Fuchsbau. For example, an unknown man in a leather jacket.
