Plot

Högler, the former director of a steel plant now in East Germany, is a rich and ruthless capitalist residing in West Germany. He wants to get his hands on the technical innovations developed by Dr. Thelen, who now runs the factory after it has been nationalized. Högler tries to besmirch Thelen by organizing sabotage in the factory, threatening to kill innocent workers to destroy the scientist's reputation. Two trade union activists – the West German Maria and the East German Fritz – who have known each other since they both fought in the wartime anti-Fascist resistance, unite to thwart the capitalist's plans.
