A broke-down shipowner robs a money transport with the help of his former employees, then he cheats them out of their share of the loot and, after a failed return to bourgeois life, allows himself to be killed by them; but only after a hunt staged by himself, in which he once again proves his intellectual superiority. First feature film by writer Hans Noever, inspired by Melville's undercooled, stylized gangster dramas.
