Synopsis:
Based on a real case during the Weimar Republic. The Jewish manufacturer Jacob Blum is framed for the murder of his accountant due to the accusations of Gabler, a thief and dealer of stolen goods. Anti-Semitic prosecutors accept these accusations, as they believe all Jews are criminals. Even with evidence indicating that the crime was committed by Gabler, the prosecutors refuse to change their stance. Blum's only hope is Bonte, a commissar in Berlin, who takes over the investigation and finds the real murderer. The Magdeburg Court reluctantly accepts the results of Bonte's investigation, but denies its own scandalous behavior.
