The city of Dusseldorf is being terrorized by a child-murderer. When Elsie Beckmann is found murdered, the search intensifies involving not only the police but the criminal underworld who also hope to catch the killer so that the police presence will subside. Hans Beckert is identified as the murder and put on "trial" by the criminal mob.
