On his way through the woods, the peddler Bock discovers the body of a dead child. Badly upset, he runs to the nearby village. Here, the villagers are fast on making him - the outsider - their number one suspect.
He is almost lynched by the mob and in sheer panic he admits the murder he did not commit.
That evening, just as the police is about to transfer Bock to the city, the girl's enraged father shoots the alleged murderer. The police closes the case, only detective Matthäus does not believe that Bock was the killer...
