Synopsis

Eva Horn has spent several years in prison for murdering her wealthy industrialist husband. Still protesting her innocence, her lawyer secures her a release of one week to try and find the real killer. Her investigations take her to an outwardly respectable marriage bureau in Berlin which is actually a front for a shady blackmailing ring run by a fraudulent baroness.
