Content:

First Sperling discovers the badly beaten Sabri on a nightly street, then the tried Inspector suffers from a lumbago. This way impaired Sperling cannot refuse Sabri's sympathy nor his unconventional cure. It is a strange story that Sperling is getting himself involved in: Sabri tells him about his Bulgarian girl-friend Zenia, who is being held against her will in a strip bar where she is forced to work as a prostitute. With the Inspector's help Sabri is now hoping to rescue her. Sperling agrees to help and together with Rhode he storms Paustian's Club the following day. But Zenia's behaviour towards her alleged boyfriend and saviour is strange.

Sperling wouldn't be Sperling if he hadn't already become suspicious. So when a terrified Zenia shows up at his guest house, he understands her without words: it had been Sabri who lured Zenia and her sister Lidia from Bulgaria to Germany and then sold them to a brothel. Zenia managed to run away from there and sought refuge in Paustian's Club. But Sabri as well as the heavies Rottmann and Dragan are already looking for her. Sperling can convince Zenia to cooperate with the police. He is keen on nailing Koester, the presumed head of the white slave trader organisation. But then Zenia is put under heavy pressure not to talk... and time is running out for Sabri as well...
