Konrad von Seidlitz is a young, successful lawyer who is currently celebrating his engagement to Cornelia, the daughter of the Minister of Justice, Volkerts. As a publicity stunt, he has not paid his parking fines for two years and now insists on being sentenced to jail for two weeks as punishment. Using his knowledge as a lawyer, he makes the best of his time in jail, continuing to work, staying in a good mood, and not following any rules. This may be a good way to get the desired public attention, but it also makes him enemies within the prison. One day before Konrad is to be released, his cell is searched and 200 grams of cocaine are found. This is a serious problem, even for a brilliant lawyer like Konrad, and even if he is innocent.
