Frankfurt police inspector Fritz Dellwo (Jorg Schuttauf) has been training for months for the Frankfurt marathon. He is entering in company with a small group, one of whom is a veteran sports coach from the former East Germany, Henry Danquarnt (Karl Kranzkowski). On the eve of the race an underworld figure with sharp-shooting skills escapes from jail. This criminal had threatened to kill Dellwo. Dellwo's partner, inspector Charlotte Sanger (Andrea Kawatski), does not want him to participate in the marathon on account of this. He brushes off her worries. Early in the marathon, a participant is shot dead at long range. Video evidence shows that the victim was running directly behind Dellwo. A desperate search begins to locate Dellwo and pull him out of the race. The shot was fired from a church tower. Sanger decides to visit the cleaner of the church, Irene Ferber (Kirsten Block), who may have been an eye-witness, and finds from her partner that she is cleaning another church. Meanwhile the criminal is captured outside the city and, with an injured arm from his jail-break, clearly cannot be the perpetrator. Sanger finds Ferber who takes her captive and prepares to make another assassination attempt from the tower of this other church. Dellwo, finally located, asks for a check on Ferber. She turns out to be a former East German athlete. Dellwo was not, therefore the target; it is Danquarnt who made Ferber participate in East Germanys athletics doping programme. Dellwo foils the next assassination attempt but can neither stop Danquarnt continuing the race nor capture Ferber. At the finish he takes Danquarnt away to a closed floor in the finishing hall and leaves him there. Ferber sees Danquarnt. She pulls a gun on him, turns it on herself and they are both killed, falling to the floor below.
