Ex-stripper Maria endures her life alongside dog breeder Herbert. Son Paul openly rebels against his father. When Paul accidentally kills a boy, Herbert reports him anonymously to the police. A mechanic overhears and blackmails him - the story seems as stilted as if Sophocles had tried his hand at a "Derrick" episode.
